Vaal Skill Gem Information

With the introduction of 3.3.0, Vaal Skill Gems will also grant the use of the original Skill Gem. This means that tooltips in-game and on the website will be changing to better represent the dual-nature of Vaal Gems.

This information pertains to the Public Stash API, as well as Character-Window related endpoints.

New Property: vaal

• The descriptive attributes on a Vaal Skill Gem will instead relate to the original Skill. This includes properties, explicitMods, and secDescrText. The typeName and icon will still refer to the Vaal Skill Gem.
• Vaal Skill Gems will have a new vaal attribute that contains information about the Vaal Skill granted.
• This property can contain the following attributes: baseTypeName, properties, explicitMods, and secDescrText. This is shown in the example below:

  "vaal": {
      "baseTypeName": "Fireball",
      "properties": [
          {"name": "Souls Per Use", "values": [["22", 0]], "displayMode": 0},
          {"name": "Can Store %0 Use", "values": [["1", 0]], "displayMode": 3},
          {"name": "Soul Gain Prevention", "values": [["5 sec", 0]], "displayMode": 0},
          {"name": "Cast Time", "values": [["0.85 sec", 0]], "displayMode": 0},
          {"name": "Critical Strike Chance", "values": [["6.00%", 0]], "displayMode": 0},
          {"name": "Effectiveness of Added Damage", "values": [["125%", 0]], "displayMode": 0}
      ],
      "explicitMods": ["Deals 8 to 11 Fire Damage", "Fires Projectiles at all nearby Enemies", "50% increased Area of Effect"],
      "secDescrText": "Launches a series of fireballs in all directions around the caster."
  }

  All of these properties are the same as the ones you can normally find on items, with the exception of baseTypeName which instead gives the name of the original Skill Gem.
