* A mutation with some similarities to the Blood Angel's Black Rage, known as "Dorn's Darkness.". Those affected enter a dream-like state in which they relive the bottomless woe and paralyzing fear of Dorn's darkest moment: the moment he saw the Emperor near death after the battle aboard the ''Vengeful Spirit''. They can't care for themselves while in this state, and don't recognise anything happening around them. 
** Basically, if the Black Rage is unbridled [[RAGE]] unbound, Dorn's Darkness is crippling, ruinous depression.
