- Some skills use modifiers of other skills?
- For example: all talents that improve
Penance, will also work on 
Icy Penance.
But those skills don't share a cooldown, so you can use both!

- One talent says "ability", other says "spell", other says "attack". All mean same thing?
- Not really:
Ice Shards won't boost your 
Slam damage, because slam is not a spell.
- Not really:
- Ability- Something a fighter does, for example Slam and
Shadow Strikes - Attack - Means the same thing as Ability, but also includes auto-attacks
For example -
Corrupted Bear Form works with 
Swipe (Bear) and auto-attacks - Spell - Something a wizard does, for example
Frostbolt and Ice Shards
Ice Shards won't boost your Slam damage, because slam is not a spell.- Charges vs stacks?
- For example:
Each time you use
Arcane Blast , you get 15% damage increase, it stacks up to 60%, and has maximum 1 charge.
If you take talent Harnessed Energy, now you get 25% damage increase, but it doesn't stack at all, and has up to 5 charges.

- For example - Corrupting Shadows
If you know Jadefire Corruption and Shadow Arrow , it will use on of them randomly
If you don't know any corruption spells, it will always apply Corruption rank 1

Corrupting Shadows If you know
