Vaal Orbs always entail a risk: they can greatly improve an item but they can also change it for the worse. Only ''one'' of the effects listed for each type of item below may happen.
{{main|Corrupted#Corruption outcomes}}
===Equipment===
The outcomes of using a Vaal Orb depend on the item's class and rarity. Refer to the main article for specific outcomes.
*No change (other than adding the Corrupted property).
*Reroll up to half of the item's explicit modifiers.
When used with an {{il|Omen of Corruption}}, it removes the "No change" outcome as a possible result, making the outcome 1 of 3 effects instead of 1 of 4.
*Add a special Vaal [[enchantment]] to the item, highlighted in {{c|corrupted|red}}.
*Add a socket to [[weapon]]s and [[armour (equipment)|armour]], ignoring socket limits.
