Functions of Vaal Orbs
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.
Equipment
Change one or more sockets to white sockets. This has a 1/4 chance of occurring, with a 1/10 chance for each additional socket (1/40 for two, up to 1/400000 for 6 white sockets).
Reroll the item into a rare item with randomized sockets, links and six random affixes.
Change the implicit to a special Vaal Implicit, or adds a Vaal implicit if the item has no implicit by default.
Transforms certain unique items into a different unique item.
This event can most likely even occur when the equipment has no sockets and will have the identical phenotype to "no effect".
No effect (other than adding the corrupted property).
Maps
No effect (other than adding the corrupted property).
Reroll the map into a rare item with exactly eight random affixes, retaining the map base.
Unidentify the item, retaining its affixes and quantity bonus. Unidentified magic or rare maps receive a 30% bonus quantity.
when a tier 15 map gains a tier, it has about a 50% chance to become a level 83 Vaal Temple Map (i.e. about 1/16 chance in total).
When a Shaped or Elder Map gains a tier, it will become a Shaped or Elder (respectively) Map base of one tier higher, even if that map isn't unlocked on the player's Atlas.
When a map is rerolled this way, it has about a 50% chance to have its map tier increased by one and consequently its map base changed to a suitable map (picked from the same atlas quadrant).
Gems
No effect (other than adding the corrupted property).
Add or subtract one level.
Add or subtract 1-10 quality. Gems can have up to 23% quality this way.
Change the gem to its corresponding Vaal Gem.
Jewels
No effect (other than adding the corrupted property).
Add a special Vaal implicit mod.
Turn it into a rare or a Vaal-exclusive unique jewel with the same base item.
When using Vaal Orbs on a Strongbox some or all of the items within the Strongbox will become corrupted. Note that unidentified items cannot be corrupted.
Flasks
Flasks cannot be corrupted.
