 Coronary Artery Spasm -- Recommendations and Resources   (Site not responding. Last check: )
A spasm is a sudden, involuntary contraction of a muscle, a group of muscles, or a hollow organ, or a similarly sudden contraction of an orifice.
Warp spasm (''riastradh'' in Irish) is a mythological feat found in Celtic myth by which warriors enter a frenzied state of contortion in battle that makes them invincible.
Those undergoing a warp spasm are said to grow so angered that their skeleton literally turns inside out in their bodies.

The Riastradh or warp spasm is an ability akin to a barbarian's rage ability, although different in its implementation.
Warped ones are those humans that have the special touch or destiny, and they gain the ability to use a warp spasm.
A character capable of warped spasm is driven by a geas-like honor and reputation, and although this is touched upon in the pdf, it is not detailed sufficiently.

The Warp explosion thumps 100 ft with a P.P.E wave, sort of like a concussion implosion, giving supernatural creatures a whopping headache, and actually physically stunning Mages and Psychics, only beings like Psi stalkers are untouched, all others are suffering for at least a minute (four melee rounds).
The Warp explosion also does 2d6 Mega damage to the immediate area around the Berserk, the range is equal to the former berserk's P.E attribute in feet.

There are two ways to access the spasm: a character either has to be a member of the warped one race (a human with the blood of the riastradh), or somehow gain access to the Warp Legacy feats.
The main balancing factor of the Warp Spasm is temporary Constitution damage that the character suffers once the spasm ends.
The Warp Spasm lasts far longer than most DandD combats, and the bonuses it grants are hefty.

 RPGnet : Review of Slaine: The Roleplaying Game of Celtic Heroes
The reason they are called "Warped Ones" is that one certain occasions, they have a 'warp spasm', in which they freak out and get bigger/stronger.
The specifics of the 'warp spasm' (which was quickly called a 'wargasm' in my group) seem to be unique to Slaine, but it's based on Celtic myths - I've read some of the myths and if I remember correctly, some of the celtic heroes did sort of go nuts.
It's possibly unbalacing in terms of combat prowess, but it's balanced overall by warped characters suffering from a major 'geas', which is essentially a restriction - something fairly common a character can't do.

 Ancient and modern body transformation | Ask MetaFilter
I'm particular interested in cultural examples of figures that are heroes or heroines (not necessarily in an action sense, but figures that are praised by a culture) for being beyond human.
The experience may lead to you devoting yourself exclusively to this god, because he has chosen you and you shouldn't treat this lightly; but then again, all the gods must manifest at some point, and there's a limited number of people within the group, so most will at some point be "mounted" my several gods.
A key difference (it seems to me) between the 'warp spasms' and possessions is that vodou practioners claim no memory of their possession, what they said or did during.

The deer is tethered to the chariot and trots along behind; the swans, likewise bound to the chariot, fly overhead; the heads presumably are swinging to and fro inside the chariot.
So much excitement in one afternoon proves too much for Cú Chulaind, who finds himself having a warp spasm just as the chariot approaches home.
This diminishing effect, confirmed by scientific research,34 recalls the procedure of dunking Cú Chulaind in three vats of water in order to progressively curtail his warp spasm and restore him to a state of normal consciousness.

 After-Death Communication
Ancient texts record that Celtic warriors often entered battle wearing nothing but the torc (a celtic necklace) and that warriors whipped themselves into such a frenzy that their opponents would swear that they physically changed shape.
A remarkable description of what has come to be referred to as the "warp- spasm" can be found in the Irish legend of Cuchullainn (pronounced coo-hoo-linn) and is consistent with Celtic myths of deities capable of shape-shifting or changing their physical form.
This is illustrated in Cuchullainn's battle-frenzy as described in a text from the Ulster Cycle:
