Conviction
Monsters around you resist fire, cold and lightning 45% less (a fifth of that if immune).

Synergies and practical checks
- It lowers the resistances of every monster in its reach, which grows each level, and holds a moment after a monster steps out.
- On a monster immune to an element it lowers that resistance by a fifth, as in Diablo II, which can break the immunity. It never lowers a resistance by more than 150% .
- Diablo II’s Conviction also lowers Defense. Here every blow lands, so there is none to lower.
- Of several Convictions on a monster (yours, your items’, your mercenary’s), the strongest alone counts.
