'''Charged Staff''' is a [[spell]] [[skill]] requiring a [[quarterstaff]]. It imbues your [[quarterstaff]] with additional flat [[lightning]] damage (scaling linear with the [[power charge]]s it consumed) for a limited time. Additionally, while your staff is affected by the buff any [[attack]] [[skill]] used with the [[quarterstaff]] will cause a wave to be shot. When using skills such as {{il|flicker strike}} that perform multiple hits, each hit triggers a wave.
'''Charged Staff''' is a [[quarterstaff]] [[skill]]. Upon use, the skill consumes your [[power charge]]s to apply a [[buff]] that grants added [[lightning]] damage and causes your quarterstaff attacks to launch a lightning shockwave forward.
==Skill functions and interactions==
==Skill functions and interactions==
* The consumed [[power charge]]s do not alter the shockwaves sent out directly, but the added damage from the [[buff]] does affect the shockwaves
* The shockwaves are [[area of effect]] [[attack]]s and are modified by AoE modifiers. They do not interact with [[projectile]] mods.
* The triggered waves are not projectiles and will not be modified by projectile modifiers or support gems.
* The buff causes all attacks that use your quarterstaff to launch a shockwave forward, regardless of whether they are targeting an enemy or if they hit an enemy or not.
* Waves will also be fired if no enemy is hit my the attack
** Skills which can hit multiple times per use, like {{il|Tempest Flurry}} and {{il|Flicker Strike}}, will launch a shockwave with each hit.
* Waves from this skill always [[pierce]]
** {{il|Whirling Assault}} launches shockwaves in multiple directions during the skill animation.
* Reactivating the skill while the buff is still active will consume all your [[power charge]]s to extend the buff by 6s per [[power charge]] and increases the power charge counter of the buff (which increases the flat added damage). This does not allow you to bypass the max up to your maximum power charges restriction
* Reactivating the skill with the buff active will add to the amount of power charges consumed for the buff, but this number cannot exceed your maximum number of power charges.
* While this is a spell gem, it cannot be triggered.
