Baron of Corruption is a stage where influence over people turns into power over the rules themselves. The bearer's body also grows stronger: his blow is compared to a cannonball that makes an entire building shudder.
The main ability is Distortion. The Baron exploits gaps in the Order: by distorting the words, actions, and intentions of a target, he builds a state of affairs that benefits him, and thereby constrains the opponent. In practice, this looks very different:
he distorts the direction and purpose of blows, deflecting them away from himself;
seals ordinary rooms, turning them into a trap;
and conversely, unseals enclosed spaces from which there is no exit.
The second ability strikes not at rules, but at people. Decomposition blackens the hearts of everyone within a radius of ten meters, filling them with greed and pushing them toward decisions that a sober person would not make.
The stage's method of action describes exactly the work the Baron does: infiltrate an existing system — a mafia, a family, an army — and imperceptibly corrupt its rules from within, so that it itself, as if naturally, begins to lean in his direction and work for him.
