For awhile now, our party has been corrupted by unknown forces into different states of existence. The Bladebound Magus has been fading from reality, the Shaman looks like he is becoming undead, and my paladin looks like he is becoming a devil. Leads to solving our condition have born little fruit. Until last night.
Due to circumstances, the Magus had his Black Blade destroyed. Eight days later and a reforged Blade later, major changes happened. His Corruption had vanished, and his Black Blade had become a White Blade. The White Blade still performs the function of the standard Black Blade. It just had a more favorable attitude now. It was also the source of the corruption, for some reason.
After preparing a Communion spell with Sarenrae, our Shaman identified what his causing his Corruption. And possibly mine. Both my paladin and the Shaman died some time ago and we were Resurrected by the local temple of Erastil. Initially, it seemed like the Resurrection went off without a hitch. But according to Sarenrae, the Shaman's soul is responsible for his current corruption.
It's possible that when he was Resurrected, not all of the Shaman's soul came back. Most of it did, for sure. But not all of it. The Magus has dropped hints that he believes that the Resurrection ritual was botched somehow. He knows this from knowledge he gained when he performed his ritual to get his Black Blade reforged.
Going forward, and not knowing what my particular source of corruption is yet, I have to ask the question:
How do you repair a soul to restore your corrupting body?
