Acute and dangerous loss of control in which Pathway instinct temporarily dominates conscious identity. A Rampager is a crisis, not a routine combat buff or punishment.

External contamination from an unsafe entity, artifact, ritual, place, characteristic, or information source. Corruption is distinct from ordinary stress or internally generated madness.

Early-stage pressure from an undigested potion. It is a warning state rather than automatic madness, but ignoring it makes later loss of control more likely.

A temporary breach between the Beyonder's identity and their Pathway power. The character remains playable and may recognize what happened, but their control is unreliable.
