I feel that it is more likely that the "corruption" is a matter of how Tier magic users restore their mana draining the level of environmental soul energy, causing the sacrifices offered to use Wild Magic to be far less efficient and sometimes ineffective.

Which might imply that, at some level of throwing too many spells around, odd effects related to the natural magic of the New World would be seen. For instance, I'd guess that the spawning of undead relates to excess environmental soul energy (which I will now refer to as psiogen). So we might see something like a decline in the number of undead spawning in the Katze Plains near Nazarick. Psiogen should also be collected naturally by demi-humans and trained humans, so extensive use of powerful magic might cause the ability of people (adventurers and such) to decline over time. Or at least result in lowered mana recovery rates.

It would be funny if Ainz's lie about needing lots of time to replenish his mana came true.
