What are Power Charges in Path of Exile 2?

Power Charges act as multipliers for specific skills or effects. While inactive on their own, skills like Falling Thunder use them to significantly boost their power. They're not mandatory for most builds, but crucial for others, such as the Tempest Flurry Invoker build. They function similarly to Frenzy and Endurance Charges, only activating when consumed by a compatible skill or influenced by specific items or effects.
