			When considering Corrupt, keep in mind: [[Bone dragon]]s are a common result, and would fill the area with clouds of [[March of Sorrows\|excruciating misery]]. This drains 10% of max health per aut, or 5%/2%/0% with rN+/rN++/rN+++, so plan accordingly.

	*Banishment is very powerful: it is a spammable ability that can ''instantly'' remove a given monster from the Dungeon. Even if you fail to actually banish, you'll still cripple the monster heavily; the [[malmutate]] effect is a better version of [[corrosion]]. Malmutate also reduces the targets' [[HD]], thus reducing their [[willpower]], thus making them easier to banish in the future. Note that [[nonliving]] and [[undead]] monsters are immune to malmutate.		*Banishment is very powerful: it is a spammable ability that can ''instantly'' remove a given monster from the Dungeon.

	*Corrupt creates a mass of neutral monsters, which can deal with enemies up to Zot:5. These creatures won't go out of their way to attack you. However, they'll attack if ~~you get in their way~~.
