The corruption also has mental effects. So if you don't see it physically, but someone is acting aggressive or suspicious of people they might otherwise trust, then they may be affected by the Abyss curse. Of course, try not to be in contact with the blood, or blood stones for too long. If you investigate Durin's corpse, don't linger for longer than you need to. The dragon's spirit cannot pass on due to the corruption, and you might start to hear his voice.
[ What else could help? He has to think. ]
The corruption was planted on Durin by Abyss agents. So this may not be the only place you encounter it, if you continue to travel here. Abyss uses the corruption as one of their methods to disrupt Celestia's order. It also grants its victims some additional measure of power, so humans in the past have accepted it to further their own goals. It always ended badly for them.
