Power Charges in Path of Exile 2

Power Charges act as modifiers for specific skills or effects in Path of Exile 2. They are passive unless consumed by a skill like Falling Thunder, enhancing its power. Most builds don't require them, but they are crucial for certain builds, such as the Tempest Flurry Invoker. They function similarly to Frenzy and Endurance Charges; their inherent value is derived from their consumption by specific skills or interactions with items/effects.
