— In-game description

Notes

• This trait has a delay of a few seconds before conditions are taken by the minions, this is likely intended for balance to prevent necromancers with large numbers of minions to become essentially immune to conditions.
• This trait works will all minions, including those summoned by Superior Rune of the Lich.
  • Unstable Horrors, while affected by this trait, almost never make use of it because of their extremely limited lifespan and the natural delay of the trait.
