Additional context

No response

The fact that it says (C) after the power shows that it's a channeled power, as described in the description. As long as you're able to keep concentrating, it's going to keep going. That's why your log says "You feel a strange tingling feeling as you concentrate." You're still maintaining the ability.

You can use "Stop Concentrating" to automatically turn off all your concentration powers, or re-channel each one to turn them off individually. They'll also automatically turn off if you go to sleep or are stunned.

I think there isn't enough in-game explanation of how (C) works

This power is maintained by concentration and may fail if concentration is
interrupted.  It is canceled by engaging in combat.

did not get the point across for me, I would make it say something like this: This power is continuously maintained by concentration... mention in some clear way that you can keep them going forever
