Power Charges act as multipliers for specific skills or effects. They're passive until consumed by a designated ability, such as 
Falling Thunder, significantly boosting its power. While not essential for most builds, they are crucial for certain high-damage strategies, like the Tempest Flurry Invoker build. They function similarly to Frenzy and Endurance Charges – inert until utilized by a skill or item.
