The possesser is then forced into a berserk rage, attacking the nearest living creature and fighting to the death. The rage ends when all living creatures within sight are dead. For the duration of the rage the broadsword may not be dropped or disarmed by any means. The wielder can 'struggle for control' as a free action to end the rage, or select a specific target. 'Struggling for control' is handled similarly to an intelligent item with an ego of 20.Bloodthorn, (+2 vile mithril rapier), For each point of vile damage inflicted by Bloodthorn it's wielder gains a point of taint. Taint IMC is a bit like the shadowlands taint from Oriental Adventures, but mixed up with elements of the chaos mythos stuff from Warhammer Fantasy/40k. As a character gains taint his alignment slowly shifts toward chaotic evil, his sanity slips away (loss of wisdom), and his body atrophies(loss of str/dex/con). Acquiring enough taint can lead to the 'acquisition' of some of the feats from the book of vile darkness, and/or possible transformation into a chaos beast.</blockquote>
