The important thing to know is that fear should not stop you from action. It is always easy to say, but always a lot harder to do. Making up a plan up while in the middle of a scary situation is hard and even going in prepared with a plan is not easy, but the important thing to know most of the time a situation will not change on its own. Only action can make a situation improve whether it's fighting, or running, or getting someone's help.

Sometimes the scary situations are created by the people you love, and it's important to remember that it's not your fault. It's not your fault and Neither is it your responsibility to change someone. If they Want to change then help them, but do not let yourself be taking into the illusion that you will be able to convince them to change. Most of the time you won't be able to do that despite your best efforts and it's not your fault. That fault and responsibility lies in the person causing the scary situations.

The only thing i can say to help conquer your fears is taking actions against them and succeeding. It's not a simple matter, and sometimes things get worse before they get better, but not doing anything only makes things get worse. It's been proven in studies that people, if not stopped by either the person they are harrassing or by an outside force, will continue doing what they want until they are. If people are harassing you make a scene. Get them noticed and uncomfortable. Make it not worth their while to be close to you. Same goes for spirits. If they are bothering you, start erecting barriers, cleansing, banishing, anything you can do to fight back and make it harder for them to want to stay. Studies have also proved that people tend to harass people who fight back less than those who don't fight back.

As for losing a fear...i don't think people ever lose their fears. I think they just learn how to live with them and learn how to overcome them in one way or another. My own fears stay with me, but i've come to terms with the fact that they might happen and it hurts to think about it, but I believe that with time i can learn to live with it.

Firstly i would like to say that corruption isn't something that should be taken lightly. it is something very profound and very demanding and draining on the person using it. it must be handled with great care, but not something to be feared. Something to be respected and demanded respect from.

Corruption is a type of power for Darkness magic users. Each form and application is unique the one using it, but the abilitiy is generally the same. It is the ability to change one thing into another, sometimes physically, other times mentally, and even emotionally. Corruption can be powered with different emotions to reach different results. As an example one of my familiars is comprised of the souls of feral spirits i found and collected and then corrupted and combined into one being. I named him Charous and he's a shadow bat familiar, based off a necklace i wear.

Another way it can be used is to manipulate people. One of my embodied emotions is named Sorrow (can you guess what emotion he's supposed to be?) and he uses it as a kind of venom. He can spread it through infected his familiars with it and giving them corrupted touch. once something is corrupted by him, he can use it to dramatically weaken and even break the wills and drain the strength out of people and beasts leaving them helpless before his blade.

as for what it looks like...i would have to say it looks different to everyone. Personally i use it like the tentacles/tendrils that rise out of the shadows and corrupt all they touch with a creeping mud-like substance. It personally feels like i'm waist deep in blackened muddy water, but i am standing on the head of a beast that will eat anything i put in front of it, but if i am weak in my resolve could just as easily devour me. I have a few other posts concerning Corruption found here and here.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "Manifests" so i'm going to have to ask you to clarify in another ask x.x sorry.  I'm not sure if you mean how it first shows up in a person or how it looks when it's affecting someone else.

Dangerous i'd say moderately so. Evil? Depending on the user and how it's used. I've said it in my other posts about corruption, you don't want to corrupt sentient spirits unless you have to, but personally i feel that feral spirits are free game since they are wild and dangerous in themselves. Some beings i know that use darkness magic don't really use corruption because of the time it takes to use and the fickle nature of it. Others use it as a kind of binding, "do as i say or the corruption will spread and cause pain/slowly kill you." Now i won't say that this is wrong, because it can be used to keep criminals docile or train beasts, just as easily as it is used to enslave a being and force them to do things they don't want to.

as for being consumed by darkness the answer is yes. Darkness I've mention is something like a great entity. I won't say a god, but something close to it. A being of almost infinite knowledge and power, but it has no particular will of it's own. It's content with lending it's power to anyone who asks. However at a certain point it realizes that the beings asking for its power are unable to control it and take over their body for them to complete their will. this can only be done for a short time (maybe an hour max) and causes permanent damage to the beings body in the astral. Darkness is neither good nor evil, but can do both.
