Vaal orb does not turn a gem into a Vaal gem?

[bjojojon]

I used it on a summon skeleton gem. It only got corrupted but with no vaal skill.

It's but a chance of it turning into a vaal version , ain't certain.Vaaling a gem may raise its quality , raise its level , and the opposite.Plenty of things a vaal orb may do.Including , of course , turning it into the vaal one.
If you really need the vaal version , consider buying it from other players using in-game trade chat , or poe.trade website where you can find sellers.

It possibly decreased quality , or whatever.Farm vaal side areas then , it'd be your best bet at getting it.

Nothing happening to the gem is one of the possibilities when using a Vaal orb; the gem will be corrupted afterward, regardless of the result achieved.

there's 7 things that can happen when you vaal a gem,.

1) Increase quality of gem
2) Decrease quality of gem
3) Increase level of gem
4) Decrease level of gem
5) Convert it to a Vaal gem
6) Nothing.
7) Gem breaks (disappears).


More interesting things happen when you use the Incursion Vaaling mechanic (double vaaling possible).

No, it can't disappear.

Corrupts a skill or a support gem, modifying it unpredictably twice (corrupts two times).

If you have evidence you could back your claim up with (about additional outcomes), please update the wiki accordingly, until such time, I'm gonna assume you're confusing it with https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Locus_of_Corruption

edit: To clarify, not that I think the locus of corruption would do anything to a gem, just that it has the mechanic of making things go poof.

As far as I know, it is impossible to destroy a gem by using a Vaal orb on it, since that would make so many people mad if it happened, GGG would have the Golgotha Demon from the movie Dogma show up at their offices over that crap. :P

Imagine corrupting a leveled Enlighten Level 3 and having it explode.
