I like the effects it might do BUT make it dependent on the amount of corruption TOTAL on the station.
At 10%, make it interfere with handheld technology (optical scanners, flashes, multitools, analyzers, but NOT other stun weapons or energy guns).
At 20%, make it also drain power at a medium rate. This includes any power cells still in the area - cyborgs, buddies, APCs at a rate of at least 20/second - and even guns at a rate of 1 PU/second.
At 30%, make it interfere with wired communications - intercoms cease to function and computers and fabricators shut down, as if there was no area power. The AI and cyborgs cannot interact with anything that remains functioning in the area, and machine talk is also scrambled. The chaplain is vulnerable to spells now in corrupted areas.
At 40%, the power drain is tripled, crippling an area mere moments after its corruption.
At 50%, carbon lifeforms which aren't magically attuned begin slowly disintegrating in corrupted areas, taking 1.5 burn damage per second.
At 60%, the rate of disintegration doubles, and at 70% it doubles once again.
This would make a staff of c'thulu wizard a viable strategy.
