To use it, you must select a weapon or shield in your equipment slot (main or swap) or the top and left-most identified weapon or shield in your inventory slot. Once selected, you can hold the button to begin channeling to the Crucible. The longer you channel, the more enemies it spawns and more damage and damage reduction they receive. A bar near the circle will fill up, indicating the amount of experience points that will be contributed towards unlocking the selected node in the item's Crucible Passive Skill Tree. A charge percentage and difficulty will also be displayed at the bottom.
You are given a few seconds after channeling before the Crucible spawns enemies, in case you were interrupted and want to channel further. Leaving the circle around the Crucible will force spawn the enemies. Charging the Crucible to 100% will also spawn the enemies.
Once most of the enemies are defeated (all the Rare/Unique monsters and most normal/magic monsters), the item will receive experience points towards its Crucible Passive Tree.

This removes all experience points that went toward the passive. The item's Crucible Passive Tree will remain the same, even if you deallocate all passives.
Tree limitations
Weapons trees usually have offensive nodes.
Shields trees have defensive nodes.
In each tree only one node at each tier can be unlocked.
The number, type, and potency of nodes depends on the item's item level.
Passives tend to have an archetype, chosen between Fire, Cold, Lightning, Physical, Chaos, or Elemental. This also reflects the types and skills of monsters spawned.
