Gain __ charge on crit + Cyclone CoC Discharge

I understand that with items like Terminus Est and PCoC, you can only gain 1 charge per cast of a skill like cyclone and this seems to be the case when I try it. However, with CoC discharge linked to cyclone, every crit creates a chain of discharges. If only 1 charge can be gained per cast, what fuels all of the discharges after the first one?

Cyclone can only gain one charge per use. But each discharge is a separate cast so each can generate 1 charge if it crits.

Are you refering to CoC Discharge using Voll's Protector?

If so that item reads "Gain a Power Charge for each enemy you hit with a Critical Strike"

Every hit that is a crit gets a power charge, be it a hit from cyclone or any other skill.
Heck, simply running Voll's with a crit cycloner would get you to your max power charges almost instantly.

Oh, thanks for the concise explanation! I hadn't thought about it like that.

I noticed that with Voll's which is why I tested with Terminus Est and a Tabula in place of my Voll's. With a crit cyclone discharge though you can't really consistently have more than 2 power charges per discharge (1 from the cyclone and 1 from the previous discharge and possibly more from non-discharging crits)
