Charging is the process of adding more charges to magical items. The most common methods of charging are the scroll of charging and the Platinum Yendorian Express Card.

If you were thinking of magically improving weapons and armor, you want enchant weapon or enchant armor instead.

Repeated charging is potentially problematic. A wand charged more than once might explode; this is why nearly all players will reduce a wand to 0 charges before charging it. A wand of wishing charged the second time will always explode; thus players with a wand of wishing (1:0) always wrest the last wish (zap the wand repeatedly) instead of charging.
