Empowerment mastery vs. Gift of Renewal?

[Synbad]

Seems as Empowerment just maintains hit points only... and Gift of Renewal regenerates it correct?

From the UO Wiki ( Skill Masteries – Ultima Online)

• When hit with physical damage the pet enters an empowerment phase where it begins to charge up its damage increase and spell damage increase for 5 seconds. . During this consume period any physical damage will be stored by the pet. After the empowerment period is over the pet enters the unleash phase for 10 seconds where it will apply the damage increase and spell damage increase bonuses based on stored damage.

I've never really noticed an increase in physical/spell damage, but for certain things (i.e. Shanty when doing Shadowguard rooms), it's essentially consume damage. Gift of Renewal is pure HP regeneration though.

It seems Empowerment works only against physical damage while GoR helps against any type of damage.
