'''Mantra of Conviction''' (formerly named [[Dominate Aura]]) is a Mantra [[Monk skill]] unlocked at [[clvl|Level]] 2230. The Monk activates an [[aura]] that increases damage received by enemies.

The Monk expends spirit to activate an aura that causes enemies to take more damage.
==Skill Rune Effects==The following is a very quick listsummary. See the [[Mantra of Conviction rune effects]] page for a more thorough summary description of rune effects, or any of the individual rune pages for numbers, screenshots, blue quotes, and much more.
<skill class="Monk">Mantra of Conviction</skill>
==Skill Design==
This [[skill]] first appeared at [[BlizzCon 2010]]. There are currently no visuals available for the skill, and no reports on it from demo players. It was revealed in the skill tree. This is the second [[aura]] available to the monk. This aura mantra is interesting in that it does not increase the damage the player or his party inflicts like [[Diablo II]]'s [[{{iw|Might Might]]}}, but it increases the damage that enemies take. Since it is a flat rate, this aura mantra is likely to be highly useful in [[Nightmare]] and [[Hell]] difficulties where the monsters may have high [[resist]]ances to different types of damage. This is one of the [[aura]]s available to the Monk. Auras in [[Diablo II]] are passive skills that simply require being the chosen skill on the hotbar. Auras in [[Diablo III]] are active skills that need to be cast, and they offer a short-duration bonus upon casting that varies depending on the aura. It is unknown how long the duration of the aura is, if it needs to be re-cast to keep the effect, and if there are any cooldowns.
==Synergies==
Before the [[July 2011 Press Event]], Dominate Aura was renamed Mantra of Conviction. Skill tiers were also removed, and Mantra of Conviction became a level 22 skill.
===Beta===
When the [[beta]] started in September 2011, Mantra of Conviction remained at level 22. The skill system was once again overhauled for the [[Beta Patch 13]] in February 2012, and Mantra of Conviction was classified as a Conviction skill and moved to level 26. For [[Beta Patch 14]], the "Conviction" category was renamed "Mantras" and Mantra of Conviction was bumped up to level 30.
