I'm just wondering what causes the charge to occur I know it can be on nonslayer tasks and occurs randomly but is it during like the first hit or when you hit or when a monster hits you? What I mean is what intiates it to attempt to use a charge?

The Black Mask uses charges completely randomly. I'm not 100% sure what the charges do, Although I think they just give you a slight defense boost agains whatever you're killing when the charge is removed.

Most people simply buy an uncharged mask to put inside their Slayer helmet.

Hope I helped.

Sorry you didn't help. Ontop of that the charges decrease the opponents defence by severeal levels. But I'm wondering what cause it to attempt to use a charge. is it randomly applied on the first hit of a monster, when you attack, or when a monster attacks you?

I'm asking what causes the program to say lets roll the dice to see if you used a charge.

"The mask ... has ten charges that are invoked at random against any combat opponents, not just slayer task monsters. A charge lowers the opponent's Defence level by 3-10."

There you are. The chance that the charges are used is, as Rogiee said, completely random. The first time you attack a creature, the machine decides if a charge will be used or not. After all 10 charges have been used, there is currently no way to recharge the mask. The only way to get more charges would be to buy a new mask and/or kill cave horrors until one is dropped.
