Can you modify corrupted items at all?

There are only a few ways to modify corrupted items in Poe:
- Corrupted orbs: Using a corrupted orb can change the effects of a corrupted item. Corrupted orbs are a type of currency item that can be used to apply a new effect to a corrupted item.
- Tainted Blessing: This item can be used to enchant a corrupted item with a new effect.
- Corrupted Blood: In some cases, using Corrupted Blood can modify a corrupted item’s effects or stats.
