Orb of Corruption
A mysterious orb. It corrupts an item granting it new properties, in some cases even reforging it into a totally new item. 
You can't corrupt an item that has sockets already. Ethereal items cannot be corrupted. However, you can socket quest a corrupted item. You can upgrade a corrupted item (for instance from normal to exceptional).
You can corrupt an item only once; "Corrupted" will display on the item once corruption worked.
Recipe: To use it put it in the Horadric Cube with another item and press the Transmute button twice.

Melee Splash Jewels
Melee Splash will deal 100% of normal attack damage in a AoE cone when you hit an enemy.
The skill you attack with itself therefore does not add to the splash damage. So for example if I attack with Sacrifice and Might, Might will increase normal attack damage so it will increase splash damage to.
However Sacrifice does not increase normal attack and therefore adds no bonus to melee splash.
Also, On Striking (hit) effects work on the splash AoE but not On Kill or On Attack effects.
If you want to see how much splash damage you do, or what affects the splash damage, simply equip Normal Attack on your left click and look at the damage.
Orb of Enchantment
This orb can be combined with non-socketed helms to add a special skill-related stat. Below are some examples:
The orb can be used on an already Enchanted item which will first destroy the previous Enchant and then apply a new one.

+3-5 Seconds to Frenzy Duration
+40-60% Frenzy Damage Converted to Magic
Corpse Explosion Deals +5-7% of Maximum Corpse Life
Slows Targets by 15% During Whirlwind
Lightning Surge Deals 8-10% of Lightning Damage as Extra Physical
+50% increased Glacial Spike Area of Effect
Raised Skeletons have 10-15% Chance of Open Wounds
