"Too much pain, too much suffering can corrupt a good man. In troubled times, either you die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become a villian."

― Harvey Dent (The Dark Knight)

"Will I eventually be physically transformed?"

"Into some aged, pale-skinned, raspy-voiced, yellow-eyed monster, you mean. Such as the one you see before you. Surely you are acquainted with the lore: King Ommin of Onderon, Darths Sion and Nihilus. But whether it will happen to you, I can't say. Know this, though, Sidious, that the power of the dark side does not debilitate the practitioner so much as it debilitates those who lack it. The power of the dark side is an illness no true Sith would ever wish to be cured of."

― Darths Sidious and Plagueis (Star Wars) discuss the physical signs of dark side immersion.

The ability to leave a former existence and fall from grace to a corrupted existence by evil intent or dark powers. Opposite to Ascended Physiology.
