Description:

A simple and small buff to the ‘Racial Wards’ that are located at the top of skill trees and are maxed out with a single point. It felt too generic a buff considering the effort put into the Buff names and the descriptions so I added a secondary effect, or improved the primary effect one that i tried to link with the description text as closely as i could. Here are the buffs (you can also see the changes in the pictures):
