Has anyone ever tried to make gems that grant charged abilities? Well the strange thing is I just tried to do this. But whenever viewing the gem in my inventory the number of [remaining] charges was counting down rapidly from the max number of charges to 0 then it starts over again (as near as I can tell anyway, the numbers could be random) all within the span of a second. Have never seen this sort of thing before. What the heck is going on? Why does this happen? Can this be fixed? If so HOW? Well, just wondering. CIAO

Yeah people use this to get "random" attributes on their gems. Any attributes that have a random range, when put on gems, will cycle like crazy when you look at them and they will stick with one random value once you socket them. Charges are such an item which spawn with a random amount (though charges are an example of a mod that you can't control the randomness of)

I saw that in Sanctuary in Chaos and thought that was a good touch...gambling with gems, heh heh.
