Passive Mastery

Passive Masteries are special passive skills present on most passive skill clusters of the skill tree, which can be allocated after allocating a notable in their cluster. They are found in all passive clusters outside of the class starting areas. Once allocated, the player can choose a bonus from a list of thematically appropriate passive bonuses from the mastery to obtain. Allocating a mastery passive requires one skill point. The set of mastery passives offered are shared among their respective cluster categories, so for example a player can allocate a Fire Mastery from any of several Fire-related clusters, but the same mastery cannot be allocated twice.

Allocating a notable passive by any means without it being connected to the rest of the skill tree (via Anointing, Intuitive Leap, Thread of Hope, etc.) does not allow you to allocate its associated Mastery passive.
