Corrupt Master Sword

The Corrupt Master Sword is the corrupted version of the Master Sword. It can be upgraded to the Deep Corrupt Master Sword.
If desired, either variant can be purified back into the standard Master Sword. 
== Characteristics ==
The Corrupt Master Sword is equal in strength to a Daedric Sword and weighs slightly less. The Deep Corrupt version is slightly stronger than a Dragonbone Sword.
Both swords have a normal swing speed for a sword.
The Corrupt sword deals slightly decreased critical damage (x1.29 base damage), while the Deep Corrupt sword has increased critical damage (x1.75 base damage). All versions have the standard critical multiplier of x1.0.
All Corrupt Master Sword variants may be tempered with an Ebony Ingot.
=== Effects ===
The Corrupt and Deep Corrupt Master Sword possesses powerful enchantments. They have an infinite enchantment charge and cannot be disenchanted.
The Corrupt Sword deals 12 points of Fire Damage for 1 second, alongside 8 points of Frost and Shock Damage. It also absorbs 15 points of Stamina and has the option of Soul Trap for 3 seconds.
The Deep Corrupt Sword deals 15 points of Fire Damage, but loses its Frost and Shock Damage. Instead, it absorbs 20 points of Stamina, Health, and Magicka. The optional Soul Trap effect lasts for an increased 15 seconds.
The sword's Soul Trap effect can be removed at an Ancient Enchanter, if desired.
The Deep Corrupt Sword reacts with the White Ring and Ivory Ring, releasing sword beams while the wielder is at full health.

== Background and Inspiration ==
The Corrupt Master Sword was originally part of JKalenad's first Zelda mod, the Blade of Evil's Bane. The mod featured the Corruption, Awakening, and purification system that has remained intact since its inception. The Corrupt Master Sword was one of the first items to be integrated into Relics of Hyrule, and the Deep Corrupt Master Sword was added in version 4.1.
The original Master Sword model was created by Chief-01, and retextured to have a dark, desaturated motif. The Deep Corrupt Master Sword was inspired by Demise's sword from Skyward Sword.
In version 6.6.1, the models for the Corrupt Master Swords were updated by Dralkkin. JKalenad was very reluctant to update the models, and required that they be as close to the original models as possible, or else he felt the entire mod would unravel. The lack of color in the Corrupt Master Sword represents a draining of light energy, and the red coloring of the Deep Corrupt Master Sword represents the dark energies trapped inside the sword.
Previously, the item descriptions of the Corrupt and Deep Corrupt Master Swords were quotes spoken by Demise in Skyward Sword.
JKalenad deliberately made the corruption process noticeably easier than the awakening process, symbolizing that is is easier to be evil than it is to be good. However, a corrupted Master Sword can always be purified one way or another, symbolizing that evil is not the natural state of the sword, or a natural state of being.
