Renewed Focus Manual

Renewed Focus is a three-rank Swordmastery perk, and every rank requires Renewed Focus Manual. The ranks improve charge restoration in two different ways.

All three ranks require the manual

Rank 1 lists +15% passive Activation Charge restoration, rank 2 lists +30% passive restoration, and rank 3 adds +50% restoration from attacks. The attack bonus is a separate source of charge recovery, not another passive-restoration figure.
