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 if it's a non-unique item.
*Add a special Vaal [[enchantment]] to the item, highlighted in {{c|corrupted|red}}.
*Add a socket to [[martial weapon]]s and [[armour (equipment)|armour]], ignoring socket limits.
Unique items can also have these outcomes:
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.
