=== Book of War Mechanics & Category Cooldowns ===
* '''Backpack Passives (2H & Dual-Wield Friendly):''' All Book of War passive stats (`HCI`, `DCI`, `SSI`, `HP Regen`, `Stamina Regen`) function directly from your '''backpack''' while wielding two-handed or dual-wield weapons.
* '''DI Cap Bypass:''' Book of War Damage Increase (DI) applies above the standard 100% equipment DI cap and is displayed in your <code>[stats</code> window.
* '''War Cry & Berserker Rage:''' War Cry grants a true '''1.10× (+10%)''' total damage multiplier for 15s. Both War Cry and Berserker Rage display active countdown icons on your client Buff Bar.
* '''Independent Category Cooldowns:''' Using a utility or defensive ability does not lock out offensive strikes (`Utility: 15–45s`, `Offensive: 10–40s`, `Defensive: 30–60s`, `Ultimate: 90s`, with a 1.0s GCD).

=== Unique Book Companion Rule ===
* All book-summoned companions (''Apprentice Magus'', ''Ancient Shadow'', ''Skeletal Vanguard'', ''Warrior Mercenary'', ''Guardian Angel'') share the '''Unique Companion Rule''': summoning a new book companion automatically dismisses any previously active book summon to prevent overlap stacking.
