If 6% of maximum life cannot be removed (for example, maximum 1 life due to Chaos Inoculation) the spell will continue to function but with a smaller damage bonus.[1]

This means that Minion Life nodes and the Minion Life SupportMinion Life SupportSupport, Minion Icon: n Level: (1-20) Cost & Reservation Multiplier: 120%Requires Level 18Supports skills which create Minions.Supported Skills have (30-49)% more Minion maximum Life

Since the spell does not know whether a skeleton is in range until the moment of cast, the in-game tooltip will only consider the spell's base damage and any external sources of damage.[2]

The totem will first attempt to target any skeleton in range. If none are found, the totem will sacrifice 6% of its own maximum life. This means that in order for a totem to cast on Skeletons effectively, the skeletons, totem, and enemy must all be in close proximity of one another. Totems that self-sacrifice will receive the more damage bonus.[3]
