Disruption Classes

Disruption Classes are categories of anomalous entities ranked by their possibility to threaten normalcy and the Veil Protocol, possibly upsetting the current status quo of Earth. The classes are ranked by their potential of disruption to the human population. Notably, alongside Risk Classes, these are new classifications applied to newer SCPs and certain older SCPs as part of the Anomaly Classification System (ACS). There are five main classes, in which many entities are under: Dark, Vlam, Keneq, Ekhi, and Amida. These names were chosen based on degrees of light illumination.
The Locked Box Test is difficult to use with Disruption Classes, with three simple questions replacing this test to determine the Disruption Class: how fast will the anomaly spread, how far will it spread, and how easily can the SCP Foundation counter it.

===Dark===
The name of Dark was chosen as an easily understood term, similar to Safe for Containment Classes.
Anomalies classified as Dark have little to no potential to disrupt the general population. Any influence by a Dark SCP is too slow to be of any concern to the SCP Foundation, with it either being inert or only affecting one individual. They are also of no priority to clean up, as its effects would be miniscule and, frankly, trivial to cover up.
=== Vlam ===
The name of Vlam is derived from the Dutch word for "flame," also indicated by its icon. 
Anomalies classified as Vlam have some potential for disruption, though it only affects small groups of people. Influence from a Vlam SCP can affect multiple people, though this won't spread very far. Elimination of Vlam influence is simple to do for the SCP Foundation in the aftermath of an incident.
=== Keneq ===
The name of Keneq derives from the Alutiiq word for "camp fire", though this can extend to any form of fire.
Anomalies classified as Keneq have enough potential to disrupt a city or enough people to populate a city. Keneq SCP influence can spread at a fast speed, making it enough to cause concern for the Foundation. Countering its influence can be moderately difficult to do for the Foundation.
=== Ekhi ===
The name of Ekhi is from the Basque word for "Sun". 
Anomalies classified as Ekhi are very dangerous, with influence spanning countries or large cities, or even the entire world. Any spread from an Ekhi SCP would be very difficult to manage due to its size or power, as well as being hard to neutralize any effects from such an anomaly.
=== Amida ===
The name of Amida has many meanings, but it is a direct reference to the Buddha of Eternal Light. 
Anomalies classified as Amida have such a large influence that they threaten to break or have already broken the Veil, necessitating the SCP Foundation to "declare war" on them. Eliminating these anomalies are the highest priority, as humanity itself is at risk when an Amida SCP is active. These anomalies have influences that spread across the entire known world and up to the universe.
