I'm the original poster, by the way.

Maybe the killing of Gwyn and the resetting of the Cycle causes an adverse reaction to Ornstein on his journey... darkening his armor and his mind.

If Ornstein did leave Anor Londo, and was replaced by the first born, then Gwyn's death just might have had an effect. Take the Dracula legend into consideration... the whole idea that if the progenitor(Dracula/Gwyn) is killed, then all they create(Ornstein) dies as well. Except that Ornstein was a living being in his own right before Gwyn gave him (and the other knights) pieces of his soul. The final death of Gwyn and the resetting of "his" soul would alter the essence of Ornstein's power as well. Maybe stripping him of the Gwyn's lightning leaving only darkness.
