How to corrupt a skill gem?

To corrupt a skill gem in Path of Exile, use a Vaal Orb, which applies a random, permanent effect like changing its level, quality, or sockets (adding or removing one), or turning it into a Vaal version. This is a high-risk, high-reward gamble; once corrupted, you can't use normal currency like Jeweller's Orbs or Gemcutter's Prisms to modify sockets or quality, so use it strategically on gems you're willing to lose or want to upgrade unpredictably, like aiming for a Level 21/20 gem or an extra socket early on.
