Several MetaMeta Gems are Skill Gems that can use, Trigger, or otherwise apply the effects of other Skill Gems. Skill Gems and Support Gems can be socketed into them interchangeably, though most Meta Gems require at least one Skill Gem to be socketed to function. Skills generate and use Energy. Each Skill which generates Energy has its own Energy count particular to that Skill. Most effects which use Energy do so to TriggerMany effects can cause a Skill to Trigger. A Triggered Skill occurs immediately, without an attack or cast time, and usually targets the cause of the trigger. Triggering a Skill does not count as using it.

Energy is a mechanic on Meta gems which determines how often when they will trigger.

Mechanics

Each meta gem builds up and uses energy independently, even if multiple copies of the same meta gem are used. If multiple skills are socketed in a meta gem, their energy values are combined, and all socketed skills are triggered simultaneously when energy reaches maximum. Multiple copies of the same skills can be used. Energy gained exceeding the maximum is discarded upon resetting the counter.

Invocation skills

Invocation skills work differently from other trigger meta skills. Instead of triggering the socketed skills whenever it reaches full energy, it is stored until the Invocation skill is used, triggering the socketed spells a number of times based on the total amount of energy stored.

Ritual Cadence causes Invocations to trigger a spell once every 2 seconds instead of all at once.

Version history

Version	Changes
0.2.0	Fixed a bug where the "chance for Trigger Skills to refund half of Energy spent" description could disappear if the chance was over 100%. This was just a display issue with the description.
0.1.1c	Hitting inanimate objects, such as Ice Crystals, Tempest Bell or Vine Arrow plants, can no longer cause your trigger skills to generate energy.
0.1.1	Skills socketed in a Meta Gem's sockets can no longer gain energy.
0.1.0d	Trigger gem energy gain was not in the right place and it was far too easy to use ailments to trigger spells. One problem with the previous system is that if we balanced it to make triggering happen in boss fights then the triggering would happen far too often during clearing. In order to address this we are now making "Monster Power" part of the calculation for energy gain. This means that it's far easier to trigger skills from Unique Monsters than it is from normal monsters, but you also hit many more normal monsters when fighting. Another issue was using low level skills with unconditional ailment applications such as Flame Wall to ignite enemies for triggering. In order to make the source of the ignite matter we are making the energy gain be dependent on the strength of the ignite. We have also rebalanced all energy gain across the board.
0.1.0	Introduced to the game.
