Skill functions and interactions

Gem mechanics

Main article: Tame Beast

Undead bound through His Grave Command will retain up to 4 regular monster modifiers, chosen at random if the monster has more than 4. It does not retain other monster modifiers such as from Essences or Azmerian wisps. These monster modifiers make this skill more support-oriented than Bind SpectreBind SpectreMinion, Persistent

through beneficial or detrimental aura effects, guaranteed ailments or ground effects, or other buffs/debuffs such as Temporal Bubble. Companions are limited to 1 of any type at a time by default.

Soul Crystal has a percentage-based spirit reservation that varies depending on the power of the monster that was tamed as well as the number of monster modifiers it has. The quality of this gem is changed to (0-10)% increased Reservation Efficiency and the gem loses the duration tag.

Soul Crystal is account-bound; this prevents the item from being traded to or picked up by other players. It can still be stored in your stash and transferred to your other characters.

Soul Crystal gems cannot be levelled up directly. Their level depends on the level of the granted skill His Grave Command used to create it, which itself is determined by The Unborn Lich's item level.[confirmation needed]

skill. While this information is partially applicable to His Grave Command as well, it cannot be transferred one to one. This is for instance because monsters must be caught while still alive and rare. Moreover, players may opt to prioritise specific combinations of monster modifiers over the specific monster type. This in particular makes the mana reservation cost a higher priority.
