Absolution is a skill that damages enemies in an area, applying a debuff for a short duration. If a non-unique enemy dies while affected by the debuff, the enemy's corpse will be consumed to summon a friendly Sentinel of Absolutionminion for a longer secondary duration, or to refresh the duration and life of an existing one instead if you have the maximum number of them.
Despite what the gem says, the skill does not consume corpses when refreshing sentinels as of the launch of 3.19.
