| 2 | + | **Vaal skills** are granted by **Vaal skill gems**, a special type of corrupt skill gem that grants an alternative version of the skill with powerful added effects fueled by the souls of slain enemies, as well as the regular version of the skill. | |
| 3 | 3 | ||
| 4 | 4 | Vaal skill gems can be looted from vaal side areas, certain strongboxes, certain divination card, and bosses of corrupted maps. It is also possible to create a Vaal skill gem by using a [[Vaal Orb]] (or Lapidary Lens) on a corresponding normal skill gem (e.g. using a Vaal Orb on [[Spectral Throw]] has a chance of turning it into [[Vaal Spectral Throw]]). | |

| 16 | 16 | A vaal gem that collected souls in an instance will keep these souls during a gem swap, a drop on the ground or putting it in the inventory afterwards. | |

| 18 | - | ||
| 18 | + | **Party** - All players near monsters killed gain the same number of vaal souls as if they had killed it alone. Therefore characters who do not kill can still gain vaal souls in a party. In a party all kills by a player with Soul Eater will not give vaal souls to the party. | |
| 19 | 19 | ||
| 20 | 20 | Soul Eater will prevent solo characters from gaining any vaal souls during the buff effect. | |

| 27 | 27 | Vaal skills cannot be supported with [[Multistrike Support]], [[Ancestral Call Support]], and [[Spell Echo Support]]. | |

| 31 | 31 | Any effects that modify the original skill, such as Helmet Enchantments and Threshold jewels, will also affect the Vaal version of the skill as well. | |

| 33 | - | Even if a Vaal skill has a gem tag that doesn't apply it to the base version, both versions will have that gem tag. For example, a [[Vaal Impurity of Fire]] skill gem will have the Duration tag on both Purity of Fire and Vaal Impurity of Fire and are affected by modifiers such as | |

For example, a [[Vaal Impurity of Fire]] skill gem will have the Duration tag on both Purity of Fire and Vaal Impurity of Fire and are affected by modifiers such as <span class="explicitMod">+X to Level of Socketed Duration Gems</span>, while a normal [[Purity of Fire]] skill gem won't be. | |

| 35 | + | Because a [[Gemcutter's Prism]] can't be used on corrupted gems, getting [[quality]] on vaal gems is substantially harder than it is on a regular gem. Vaal gems must either drop with quality or a normal gem already with quality must have a [[Vaal Orb]] used on it and be turned into a corrupted Vaal gem. | |
