The Skill Mastery book allows one of your Companions to upgrade one of their class skills. After using the Skill Mastery book, the chosen class skill will be upgraded. For instance, here is what the Hunter (Recoil Shot) skill will change if chosen:

  • Original: Targets an enemy within 8 meters. Deals medium damage, knocks them back 2 meters, and applies Slowdown for 1 round.
  • After Skill Mastery Book: Skill damage boosted slightly, knockback goes from 2 meters to 3 meters, and Slowdown now lasts 2 rounds instead of 1.
