Skill Functions and Interactions

Damage: spell damage and lightning damage will work normally with Vaal Lightning Trap, like they do with any other lightning spell, however, cast speed won't decrease the time required to throw it, since this is a trap.

Version History

Version	Changes
1.1.5	Introduced to the game.
1.1.0d	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).
