Gem socket
A gem socket is a socket in a gem which can have another type of gem socketed into it to modify the original gem.
Skill gems can be socketed with support gems. Meta gems can be socketed with skill gems.
Skill gems can have 2-5 sockets. The number of sockets can be increased with Jeweller's Orbs.
Item and Ascendancy granted skills
Skills gained from an Item or an Ascendancy cannot gain sockets from Jeweller's Orbs. Instead they gain sockets naturally as they increase in level.
