'''Phazon Corruption''' is an unsafe, hazardous state in which any living bioform can go through if exposed to excessive amounts of deadly [[Phazon]] radiation. It is most likely to occur when one is donning a [[Phazon Enhancement Device Suit|Phazon Enhancement Device]] and misusing or abusing its devastating power. Corruption infects living organisms and even vegetation on contact causing aggressiveness combined with raw power and a hunger for more Phazon, similar to a drug addiction. Phazon can also eat away at deceased bioforms, in a process similar to decomposition. This is quite noticable in the [[GFS Valhalla]]. | '''Phazon Corruption''' is an unsafe, hazardous state in which any living bioform can go through if exposed to excessive amounts of deadly [[Phazon]] radiation.

When Phazon is introduced to an environment, it can bring native species to the brink of collapse or extinction (as seen by the [[Chozo]] of [[Tallon IV]]). Some species across the galaxy however, such as the [[Galactic Federation]] and [[Space Pirate]]s, have learned to control the substance and even [[Project Helix|artificially infuse Phazon with infantry]] for warfare tactics. | ||

[[Hypermode]] is a state of being in which an organism can amplify itself and its weaponry with Phazon intentionally with a Phazon Enhancement Device (PED). This form can be manually activated and deactivated at will by the user. However, if one remains in Hypermode for an extended period of time without venting Phazon levels, the user will become Corrupted and will have a limited amount of time to deplete all Phazon via rapid weapon discharge or excretory means. If the Phazon is not fully rid from the victim's bodily system, the organism will become permanently Corrupted, and therefore become extremely aggressive along with the other symptoms of Phazon Corruption. If one's Hypermode system is unable to be shut down but has not become permanently corrupted, then an auto-vent will ensue at twenty-five seconds of use. The auto-vent does not inflict any harm on one with the PED suit except the venting of energy tanks, which is normal in the use of the Hypermode function. | [[Hypermode]] is a state of being in which an organism can amplify itself and its weaponry with Phazon intentionally with a Phazon Enhancement Device (PED).
