I really do like the corruption angle as well and it's something that has been on my mind for a while. We see so much undead-type corruption in Skyrim that it must be plausible. Heck, we can even corrupt Auriel's Bow, why not a stone? When I played Skyrim for the first time and encountered the ritual, I was surprised that the power had changed so dramatically. Needles to say, my cleric could not, in good conscience, select that stone. (He did enjoy killing the necromancer, though).
