Mods/Thaumcraft/Taint

Taint is a multilayered affliction, affecting the landscape as Tainted Land, and the player as a Taint status effect. Some tainted areas are created during world generation, either directly or by way of a Tainted ../Node/, and these can spread over time. However, the player can also create such areas, most likely through careless use of magical implements such as a ../cauldron/. Tainted areas can be healed or blocked from spreading, by "pure nodes" (notably those produced by silverleaf trees) or the player's production of ../Ethereal Blossoms/.
