Does anyone know what charms do?

I have a question for those who have already figured this out. What do charms do? I crafted a few charms out of my ranger skills, but I haven't really noticed that they do anything useful.
Are they for giving/selling to other people that aren't rangers so that they can use ranger skills? I haven't found any way to use or equip them.
Thanks for the help!

I dont have a clue either and would like to know
Well, I did a bit of looking around last night, and I figured out what charms are good for.
First, charms are essentially skills in an item form. You can either make your own or you can buy them from a vendor. You can only make skill charms out of skills that you already have. So as a ranger, I have the Troll Ungent skill, so if I have the right materials I could make a Troll Ungent charm.
They are used to put into necklaces, to give you temporary skills. There are two types of necklaces. A basic necklace, and a superior necklace. You can only place charms into a basic necklace for charms that match your primary or secondary profession. So it would be handy to pick up a skill you want, but haven't bought yet.
However a superior necklace can hold charms of any profession. So if I am a Ranger/Elementalist, and I had a superior necklace, then I could place a skill charm in it from any of the professions, and then choose that skill for my next quest. I did this yesterday. A friend of mine crafted me a healing charm from his monk skillset, then I placed the charm into the superior necklace and chose that skill for my next mission.
From what I read, the charms only last for 24 hours, but the necklaces can be re-used. I haven't seen if this is the case first hand.
