If you are immune to ability damage, can you cast corruption spells without taking the damage?

It depends...

Undead are immune to ability damage (to thier physical scores), but pay all costs for casting corrupt spells as charisma damage.

I would likely rule the same way for non-deity level creatures with immunity to ability damage (or no score in the ability to be damaged) that tried to cast a corrupt spell. (I would allow deities to cast corrupt spells with out paying the cost).

however, the rules as written do not cover non-undead with ability damage immunity that I know of, so it is realy up to each individual DM.
