Charges

Charges allow players to use skills a certain number of times, without costing any mana. Charges must be selected for use: they are added to the top row of skills when selecting them with the right mouse button (or left mouse button, where applicable). Number of remaining charges is displayed in the skill description or in the bottom left corner of the skill icon. Bought or gambled charged items are always fully charged [1]; otherwise, number of charges = 1+[maximum/8]+rand(maximum-[maximum/8]), where rand(maximum-[maximum/8]) is a random number between 0 and maximum-[maximum/8]-1.[2] Items can be recharged by repairing them; ethereal items cannot be recharged. Skill level of charges cannot be increased: equipping multiple items with the same charges only increases the number of charges (although they will be listed as separate sources). Charges receive passive bonuses including synergy bonuses, but do not apply them. Pets summoned using charges will be dispelled when the last charge is used unless they are summoned by their native class and at least one point has been invested in the skill. Pets summoned using weapon or shield charges will be dispelled when switching weapons, even when switching to an identical weapon or shield, or equipping another item with charges of the same skill (even when of the same level).

2		Paladin will lose 1/8 of maximum life whenever he uses Revive. [4]
