Can corrupted skill gems be leveled in Poe2?

Yes, in Path of Exile 2, you can continue leveling corrupted skill gems, a key mechanic allowing players to get +1 level corruptions (like Level 21 gems) and then use Uncut Skill Gems of higher levels to boost them further, even after corruption. This means you don't need to risk corrupting a Level 20 gem; instead, you can secure the +1 level first, then max it out, often with better odds and cost-efficiency.
