Other Unique rule

Melting Maelstrom is not listed among the 48 corrupted Vaal Uniques with an item-specific Cultivation modifier pool. Using a Vaal Cultivation Orb follows the separate rule for other Uniques: it replaces the item with a random Corrupted Unique of the same Item Class.

The exact random pool depends on item class and current eligibility rules, so it is not represented as a fixed item-to-item outcome.
