The power to gain powers through a symbiotic relationship with a corrupted/corrupting being. Variation of Symbiosis. Not to be confused with Cursed Symbiosis.

Also Called

 * Decedence/Defilation/Deprivation Symbiosis

Capabilities
The user can gain powers through a symbiotic relationship with a corrupted/corrupting being. The origins of the being’s corruption can vary (spiritual, demonic, magical, etc.). It may even be an embodiment of corruption. Whatever the origin of its depraved nature, acting as a host to its essence grants the user a number of abilities associated with defiled energies, deformed enhancement and even the power to taint others. Though the corrupted essence can be fortifying, more than most forms of Symbiosis, it can come with a price.
