Corrupted Notes

• Humans are weak to Corruption, however yokai are resistant to this effect, but typically not immune.
• Unlike other elemental effects, there are a lack of ways to apply this effect outside of a weapon with Corruption Imbued on it and Arcana of Power. That said, corrupted weapons gain a large increase to corruption accumulation when the sentience gauge is filled.
• The ki refund effect is potent for aggressive players, allowing extended attack sequences combined with active flux usage, even when done early.
