Bone Prison

From Diablo 4 Wiki

Bone Prison is a Necromancer skill from the Corpse & Macabre skill tree. Its features are:

Grants Player Exploits Condition
Essence
N/A
Vulnerable
Fortifies
Macabre
Bone

'Creates Condition' means this skill creates this condition i.e it could make a target Vulnerable that other skills can take advantage of. 'Exploits Condition' means this skill takes advantage of a condition, not necessarily of its own making. So for example another skill might Stun and this skill could take advantage of that.
