Note that helmet enchantments are no longer obtainable since version 3.23.0 and can only be obtained in permanent leagues as already enchanted items from before this patch.
The skill gem's description erroneously describes the debuff inflicted as "Corrupting Blood"; however, the Helmet Enchantment and gem quality correctly lists the debuff as Corrupted Blood, which it shares mechanics with other sources of.
Removed "Triggering this Skill still requires paying its Cost". [Undocumented This change was not documented by any official sources. It was discovered through player testing or datamining.]
