Charged Staff is a spellskill requiring a quarterstaff. It imbues your quarterstaff with additional flat lightning damage (scaling linear with the power charges it consumed) for a limited time. Additionally, while your staff is affected by the buff any attackskill used with the quarterstaff will cause a wave to be shot. When using skills such as Flicker Strike that perform multiple hits, each hit triggers a wave.
Reactivating the skill while the buff is still active will consume all your power charges to extend the buff by 6s per power charge and increases the power charge counter of the buff (which increases the flat added damage). This does not allow you to bypass the max up to your maximum power charges restriction
While this is a spell gem, it cannot be triggered.
