    Class Features

    Weapon and Armor Proficiencies: Corrupt magus are proficient with all simple weapons, but not with any type of armor or shield.

    Spells: A corrupt magus casts arcane spells. They must choose to prepare their spells ahead of time.
    To learn, prepare, or cast a spell, the corrupt magus must have a depravity score equal to at least the spell level. The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against a corrupt magus's spell is 10 + the spell level + the corrupt magus's Corruption modifier. (Corruption, for the purposes of modifiers, counts as 10 points higher. Corruption 2 = Ability Score 12 = +1 modifier)
    Like other spell casters, a corrupt magus can cast only a certain number of spells of each spell level per day. Their base daily spell allotment is given on the table above. They receive bonus spells per day if they have a high corruption score (As with modifiers, count as 10 points higher).
    A corrupt magus knows all the spells in their spell list (Listed below), and may spontaneously cast any spell known to them.
    Path of the Tainted: Upon entering this class, a corrupt magus gains +1 to their corruption and depravity scores. Every level thereafter, they gain 1 additional point of corruption and 1 additional point of depravity. Every time a corrupt magus casts an evil spell, they acquire an additional point of depravity and an additional point of corruption. When ever they cast a spell, they have the option of releasing this accumulated taint, increasing their effective caster level by 1 per 5 corruption and depravity released. Using this ability inflicts 1 point of constitution damage and 1 point of wisdom damage for every bonus caster level that spell is granted. This damage lasts for 1 hour. Even if their constitution and/or wisdom score would be reduced below 0, they may still cast the spell. Since the spell being cast will always be evil aligned, If slain by use of this ability, so long as they possess 1 point of corruption or depravity, they immediately rise as a tainted minion.
    Taint Suppression: You are likely to accumulate high corruption and depravity scores, but this taint is not immediately obvious to onlookers. our depravity manifests in the normal range of mental symptoms, but you can replace any physical symptom of corruption with the internal corruption symptom. If you enter a tainted area, your corruption immediately manifests externally again, and you regain the physical symptoms you exchange for internal corruption, if any. These physical symptoms disappear again 1d4 days after you leave a tainted area. Otherwise, it is impossible to tell from external appearance that you carry corruption.
    Advanced Learning (Ex): At 4th level, a corrupt magus can add a new spell to their spells known. This spell must be a cleric or wizard spell of the conjuration or evocation school, and no higher in level than the highest level spell the corrupt magus can cast. Once selected, the new spell is added to the corrupt magus's spells known, and can be cast just like any other spell they know. Any spell attained through this feature is granted the evil descriptor.
    A corrupt magus gains an additional new spell at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 20th level.

    ________________________________________________

    My attempt here is to make a moderately powerful class, that can take advantage of the flaws in the taint system as presented in heroes of horror without being game breaking. Due to the massive numbers of spells per day you could gain with a tainted scholar, I decided to factor that in. I may have broken this, in more way than one, but I hope its more balanced than the tainted scholar. Anyways; Opinions, fixes, so on. I'd love to hear them
