Meta skills are those that allow you to socket other active skills as support gems. Meta gems are often used to trigger active skills or change its functionality (for example, summoning a totem that attacks with a socketed skill).
Mechanics
Support gems socketed in a meta gem will support the meta gem and any other compatible socketed skill gems.
Energy
Most trigger meta gems generate and use Energy, a counter that balances the frequency of triggering the skill based on its use time. The rate that Energy is obtained may be influenced by enemy Power, a stat dependent on the enemy's rarity.
