Semantic issue , Amused mastery is form sarcasm for all intents in purposes

To me, the same words can either be example of amused mastery or sarcasm - it's who is saying them and how.

Sarcasm to me sounds weak and childish. I guess you could say defensive, and critical in some cases. It comes across as though what the person said bothers you.

Amused mastery to me sounds like you're being playful, non-critical. What the person said does not bother you at all and you're playing with it.

That's my take on it

Tone. Sarcasm is defensive and passive aggressive. AM sounds like you are going along with a joke.

It's all about delivery. Don't use sarcasm as an ego defensive mechanism.

Amused mastery shows that you don't give a fuck about anything outside your frame, and you're having fun with it aka self amusement.

Sarcamsm is a the lowest form of wit. Requires no though or skill. And for some reason all chicks think it's the shit and they like to brag about it: "omg, I'm, like totally fluent in sarcams!"
