Well, Willbachbakal, "taint" also means the area under the legs, between the genitals and butt, so as you can see, that's were it can get out of context. When it's used as "tainted", as you mentioned, it's a lot better use of the word for what Androyd09 has for that Plasmid. Probably something like "tainted spark" or "tainted light" could work for that definition. Either way, "taint" by itself just gives the wrong idea of what it is.
