Charge
Charges are temporary stackable buffs, that are represented as glowing orbs around the character. Charges can also be identified by having a specific silver border around the icon.[1]
There are three types of charges, each corresponding to a different core attribute:
- Endurance charges are associated with strength.
- Frenzy charges are associated with dexterity.
- Power charges are associated with intelligence.
Each type of charge grants different bonuses. Charge bonuses increase proportional to the number of accumulated charges of that type.
Charges are accumulated by the use of certain skills and equipment, and have a duration of ten seconds by default.[2] This duration can be increased with specific passive skills and unique items. Gaining a charge resets the duration of all accumulated charges of the same type.
By default, characters can accumulate a maximum of three charges of each type. This limit can be raised with certain passive skills, equipment, and quest rewards. If the character would gain a charge while already at the limit for that type of charge, no additional charge will be gained; however, the duration of all charges of that type will still be reset.
Maximum number of charges can also be lowered, the only known source are the three jewels:

Viridian Jewel-1 to Maximum Frenzy ChargesCorrupted"Your fear will overcome you."Place into an allocated Jewel Socket on the Passive Skill Tree. Right click to remove from the Socket. - PowerlessnessPowerlessness
Cobalt Jewel-1 to Maximum Power ChargesCorrupted"Your desires will mislead you."Place into an allocated Jewel Socket on the Passive Skill Tree. Right click to remove from the Socket.
With 0 maximum charges, modifiers with "at maximum charge" will be permanently active, since 0/0 charge is technically considered to be at maximum charges.
Totems are able to gain Endurance charges but not Frenzy and Power charges. Since these charges would not have any effect on totems, the maximum Frenzy and Power charges on totems is zero. However, Frenzy and Power charges on the owner of the totems can affect the skills used by totems since their values are based on the user's stats.
