Trivia

• This tome was added with the launch of Path of Fire on September 22, 2017. Prior to the June 23, 2015 update, guardians had an elite tome skill Tome of Courage, which provided healing and protection skills.
• During the second stresstest phase, after the original beta weekends, the skills cast time has been reduced from 0.75 to 0.25 seconds. This is an undocumented change and it is unclear whether or not this was intended.
