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 Normal / White Items. 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.
Some items needs to be upgraded first to get max sockets. For example Skin of the Vipermagi is Serpentskin Armor and its max possible sockets is 2. If you upgrade it to Wyrmhide, max possible sockets is 4.
Recipe: To use it put it in the Horadric Cube with another item and press the Transmute button twice.
