    Cruelty [Magic, Curse, Miracle]
    When you hit someone with your corruption miracle, you can make a special attack against their Will defense to afflict them with a negative status condition. You get two cruelties from the list below, and an additional cruelty at 4th, 8th, 12th, 16th, and 20th level. No matter how many cruelties you have, only one can be applied per use of corruption (though multiple cruelties can be applied over multiple corruption attacks). Cruelties marked as 4th, 8th, 16th, or 20th level cruelties can only be taken if you are the required level.
    Cruelties: You can take any of the following cruelties immediately.
    • Burning: The target gains the Burning condition.
    • Chilled: The target gains the Chilled condition for 10 rounds.
    • Fatigued: The target gains the Fatigued condition.
    • Shaken: The target gains the Shaken condition for 10 rounds.
    • Sickened: The target gains the Sickened condition for 10 rounds.


    4th Level Cruelties: These cruelties can only be taken with cruelties gained at 4th level or greater.
    • Curse: The target as affected as if by a bestow curse spell.
    • Dazed: The target is dazed for 1 round.
    • Diseased: The target is affected as if by a contagion spell.
    • Staggered: The target is staggered for 10 rounds.


    8th Level Cruelties: These cruelties can only be taken with cruelties gained at 8th level or greater.
    • Exhausted: The target is exhausted. You must have the fatigue cruelty to select this cruelty.
    • Frightened: The target is frightened for 10 rounds. You must have the shaken cruelty to select this cruelty.
    • Holocaust: The target gains a stack of the burning condition for every d6 worth of damage your corruption miracle deals. You must have the burning cruelty to select this cruelty.
    • Nauseated: The target gains the nauseated condition for 10 rounds. You must have the sickened cruelty to take this cruelty.
    • Poisoned: The target is poised as if affected by a poison spell.
    • Shatter: The target gains the frozen condition for 10 rounds. As long as the condition remains, the target gains vulnerability to Bludgeoning damage (they take 50% more damage from bludgeoning weapons and effects). You must have the Chill cruelty to take this cruelty.


    12th Level Cruelties: These cruelties can only be taken with cruelties gained at 12th level or greater.
    • Blinded: The target is blinded for 10 rounds. If your special attack beats their Will defense by 10 or greater, the blindness is permanent.
    • Deafened: The target is deafened for 10 rounds. If your special attack beats their Will defense by 10 or greater, the deafness is permanent.
    • Madness: The target is acts as if affected by an insanity spell. If your special attack beats their Will defense by 10 or greater, the insanity is permanent.
    • Paralyzed: The target is paralyzed for 10 rounds.


    16th Level Cruelties: These cruelties can only be taken with cruelties gained at 16th level or greater.
    • Enervating: The target gains 4 negative levels for 10 rounds and you recover hit points as if you healed yourself with your corruption miracle. If you beat their Will defense by 10 or greater, they are instantly slain and you are affected as if by a heal spell. This is a negative energy death effect.
    • Dominating: For 10 rounds, the target must make an opposed Mind check with you to make attacks against you or target you with abilities you deem harmful. This opposed check is attempted each time they wish to attack you. If your check wins, the action they were using is wasted and nothing happens. If your special attack beats their Will defense by 10 or greater, they are affected as if by a domination spell.
    • Soul Reap: The creature is branded with a dark sign for 10 rounds. During this time, the benefits of your smite miracle are doubled against the target. If your target dies while under the effects of soul reap, you condense their soul into a soul gem, preventing resurrection unless the gem is recovered or destroyed.


    Extra Cruelty [Feat]
    Prerequisite: Cruelty miracle
    You can select an additional cruelty that you qualify for.
    Special: This feat can be taken multiple times, allowing you to select an additional cruelty each time.


    EDIT: Lots of people do enjoy PDFs and also physical books, and still use them. While a wiki-format page will assuredly be a thing, it wouldn't be the only option.
    And what if someone makes this:

    Double Super Mega Extra Cruelty [Feat]
    Prerequisite: Cruelty miracle, Aasimar race
    You can select two additional cruelties that you qualify for. You can't select this feat a second time.

    Where do you put something like that?
