What are the outcomes of Vaal Orb on skill gem?

Using a Vaal Orb on a skill gem in Path of Exile results in one of several random outcomes, including converting it to its Vaal version, changing its level or quality (up or down), adding a Vaal skill version, or doing nothing but adding the 'Corrupted' tag, making the gem unmodifiable by other currencies but potentially powerful.
