The act of casting a corrupt spell makes the caster briefly vulnerable to the corruption cost of the spell.However, one way to avoid dying from Con drain is to use Shapechange to gain the Undead type for the period that all the Evil Weather spells wear off.When an undead creature uses a corrupt spell with an ability damage or ability drain corruption cost, the undead creature takes the damage or the drain against its Charisma score, no matter what ability the spell normally damages or drains. If the damage or drain reduces the undead creature’s Charisma to 0, the creature becomes helpless until the loss of Charisma is somehow restored or repaired. Any ability damage from a corruption cost heals at the rate of 1 point per day, just like any other ability damage. Ability drain can be healed by the appropriate spells.So even if you have three Evil Weather spells wearing off one after the other, dealing a total of about 32 points of Cha damage, your Cha can't drop below 0, and 0 Cha doesn't kill you.  Then you switch back to your normal form and get someone to Restore you, and it's all good.-Hyp.</blockquote>
