Vaal Spectral Throw is a vaalprojectileattack that throws a copy of the player's melee weapon, spiralling outwards from the character and hitting enemies in its path.
Terrain: Compared to the regular Spectral Throw, projectiles from Vaal Spectral Throw will disappear if they connect with terrain.
Projectile Speed: Vaal Spectral Throw acts different regarding projectile speed compared to most other spells. It has a set distance the projectiles can travel compared to having a set lifetime. So while increasing projectile speed makes the projectiles cover the area faster, it also makes the projectiles disappear faster instead of increasing the distance it covers.

Vaal Skill soul counts were initially balanced for Merciless difficulty, where there are more monsters. We want them to be easier to use in Normal and Cruel difficulty. We have halved the number of souls required for each skill. In Cruel difficulty, skills require 50% more souls to uses. In Merciless difficulty, they require 100% more (which is the same as before the patch).
