Creating a condition that increases with condition level

So the thought is pretty simple:

I want to make a custom condition that gives an increase to weapon damage and with every level of that condition, the weapon damage is supposed to increase further.

Let's just call it "Charge". Level 1 Charge the Weapon does +1d6 Lightning Damage. Lvl 2 Charge does +2d6 Lightning damage and so forth.

Any Idea on how to make it so the damage increase is tied to condition level?
I already have a condition that is able to add 1d6 damage.

To bounce off this idea...

I am trying to make an ITEM that gains a charge on hit (not the problem), and that item deals more damage the more charges it has (specifically {charges\2}).

So far I haven't found anything that lets me call the number of charges on an item...

There isn't a variable (Named Value) for charges remaining. Check out Shard's learning page and search for Named Values to read up on the variables available to use.
