Increases sword damage. Observed with four ranks — +5%, +10%, +15% and +20% — where the last two are gated behind a manual and cost narrative time as well as a skill point. August 2026 tree coverage independently publishes the same four percentages, and Bandai Namco's Swordmastery bulletin confirms that books unlock techniques and combat abilities, which is the strongest support the manual gate has.
Each rank is bought separately. Point costs are unpublished except where stated.
Read from beta footage of the skill screen and corroborated by August 2026 tree coverage. The percentages and the manual requirement are legible; whether they survive to the retail build is not established. Its tier, its prerequisite and its rank count come from a September 2026 structured tree listing — a strong secondary source rather than a first-hand one, so the edges are reported rather than verified. Its on-screen position, its time cost and any Corruption gate remain unpublished.
