REFRACTION AND CORROSION
Corrosion is the disease that demons carry that deteriorates things. It infects mostly metal, degrading and contaminating it. But it is also in opposition with organic life, eating away natural substances for sustenance.
Refraction stems from angelic weaponry. It uses divine light to purge the Corrosion and Demonkind, eradicating most infections. However, this energy is lethal to humanity as well, severing the immortality link with the Circlet. Refractory weapons were mostly used by angels in the Wake of Steel against demons but also people who sided with the enemy.
Baylis, his body in a battle between Corrosion and Refraction, will die if either force is removed. If his body gives out, his soul will surely follow.
