Charms are a special type of item in Hollow Knight that provide various bonuses and special abilities. Charms use Notches when equipped and can only be equipped and unequipped while sitting on a bench.

There are a total of 45 Charms, though only a max of 40 can be kept at one time, as 5 Charms are replaced with different ones throughout the game:
 * Kingsoul for Void Heart
 * Fragile Greed for Unbreakable Greed
 * Fragile Heart for Unbreakable Heart
 * Fragile Strength for Unbreakable Strength
 * Grimmchild for Carefree Melody

Notches
Charm Notches are required to equip Charms. Different charms require a different amount of notches. The Knight starts with 3 Notches. 8 more can be found throughout the game.

Picking up a Charm Notch will fully restore HP.

Overcharmed
The Overcharmed status is activated if there are more charms equipped than the number of Notches can support. While in this state, the damage from all sources is doubled.

If all Notches are being used, the Overcharmed cannot be activated. Activating the Overcharmed for the first time will require 5 attempts.

Being Overcharmed is very advantageous for Radiant fights in the Hall of Gods as there is no drawback to doubling what is already a one-hit defeat.
