==Corrupted Spren==
[[File:Kholinar Spren.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Sketches of corrupted painspren and shamespren]]
The Unmade [[Sja-anat]] has the ability to corrupt spren, which she calls Enlightening. In the past, she could only corrupt lesser spren; presently, even Radiant spren and [[Oathgate]] spren are possible for her to Enlighten.{{book ref|sa3|97}} These corrupted spren are drawn to the same phenomena, but are different in appearance from the typical spren. [[Syl]] believes that corrupted spren can be recognized by vividly red color, though not all spren fit this description.{{book ref|sa3|89}}
Instead of pools of blood, corrupted angerspren resemble bubbling pools of tar. Upon popping, the bubbles are "...burning red, like embers."{{book ref|sa3|67}}▼
Overall, corrupted spren seem to appear more painful, twisted and more intense -- the fire is blue-hot rather than red, streamers turn into whips, edges grow sharper and more jagged.{{book ref|sa3|78}}{{book ref|sa3|72}}
Instead of the typical flat streamers, the corrupted anticipationspren have long, thin tendrils that resemble whips or tentacles. {{book ref|sa3|63}}{{book ref|sa3|72}}▼

* '''Exhaustionspren''': they are bright red instead of their typical brown, and distorted, looking more like small red whirlwinds.{{book ref|sa3|74}}{{book ref|sa3|74}}
* '''Hungerspren''': much more rare than their uncorrupted versions, even in [[Kholinar]].{{file ref|Kholinar Spren.jpg|Kholinar Spren}} They are black, and resemble the flies seen on rotting plants. {{book ref|sa3|72}}
* '''Shamespren''': resemble pieces of broken glass instead of petals.{{book ref|sa3|62}}
▲Corrupted gloryspren take the shape of a cube instead of the globe shape of normal gloryspren.{{book ref|sa3|77}} In the [[Cognitive Realm]], they are described as looking "bone-white and brown," with "wings extending to the sides and long tresses for a tail". Similar to their normal counterparts, corrupted gloryspren in the Cognitive Realm have golden cubes for heads. {{book ref|sa3|97}}
▲The corrupted oathgate spren at the Kholinar oathgate are described as looking like stretched-out versions of people, 30 feet tall. They hover in the air. One is pitch-black and the other is red.{{book ref|sa3|87}} Syl thinks that the corruption is indicated by the red coloring one of the spren{{book ref|sa3|89}}, but it is unknown how the corruption reflects in the black spren.
▲Corrupted painspren are a sickly green as compared to their normal orange, as well as deformed or distorted, no longer resembling human hands. {{book ref|sa3|62}}Deliberately summoned by Shallan after she stabs herself with scissors to test her hypothesis.
▲The corrupted windspren are only described as "...trailing red light."{{book ref|sa3|78}} Whether this means that the ribbons of light themselves were red is unclear.
