Mind Wipe	Discards all of your glyphs and deals you a full hand. This spell cannot fizzle. Focus Specialization grants reduced cooldown.
Spellbinder Stance	Increases the casters magic casting abilities resulting in reduced casting times, increased spell critical hit chance and increased focus recovery at the expense of physical defense. The stance is broken by movement. Focus Specialization grants a small combat focus regen buff.

Innate

Elixir Receptive	Slightly increases the effectiveness of consumable effects. NOTE: Learning this skill will untrain the Tactics skill Elixir Extension. To train this skill you must set Elixir Extension to untrain.
Focus Specialization	Focus Specialization is the devotion of one's self to learning how to focus the mind. It increases all aspects of active skills within the focus tree.
