*The in-game description of Arcane Charge does not match the actual effect. The in-game tool-tip describes Arcane Charge as:{{Quote|While Threatened, affected entity has a +1 bonus to damage with spells.}}
*The damage bonus applies to any instance of damage you deal to a {{SAI|Threatened (Condition)|Threatened}} target, including weapon damage, spell damage, damage over time effects like [[Burning]] or [[Bleeding]], and even self-damage.
*If a single attack does multiple independent instances of damage, Arcane Charge will boost each one, so spells like {{SAI|Magic Missile}} will benefit the most.
*Some damage riders behave as independent sources of damage and will get boosted by Arcane Charge. See [[Damage_mechanics#DRS_Effects|DRS Effects]] for a comprehensive list of damage riders that work like this. For instance, Arcane Charge will boost both the weapon damage and {{SAI|Colossus Slayer}} damage of a single attack.
*The movement speed penalty from Arcane Charge can be mitigated by {{SAI|Freedom of Movement}}, but not any effects that only mitigate [[Difficult Terrain]] like {{SAI|Land's Stride}}.
