Active skill

Active skills, often referred to as skills, are abilities actively used by players and monsters, unlike passive skills. Active skills are typically gained by placing an active skill gem into an item socket. Some items also grant active skills through specific item modifiers.

Active skills can be augmented with support skill gems and used automatically with the trigger mechanic.

For item modifiers such as +2 to Level of all Minion Skill Gems from Unnatural Strength, "skill gems" refers to active skill gems only. Conversely, support skill gems are referred to as "support gems" in passive skill and item mods, such as Catarina's +# to Level of Socketed Support Gems.
