Skeletal Arsonist is a minion skill that reserves Spirit to summon persistent skeleton arsonists.

Skill functions and interactions

During their command skill, Arsonists detonate one other minion that is below the life threshold of the skill, dealing damage to nearby enemies.

Skeletal Arsonists automatically revive after 7 seconds after being killed. This timer is reset whenever one or more minions die, and can be shortened through certain passives on the skill tree or items such as Necromantle.
