In Season 40, Angelic Crucibles sanctify a legendary item: perfect Ancient-level stats plus one of three powers of your class at random. You can only wear one Sanctified item at a time. For this build the Death Nova power applies, because it uses that skill. The Army of the Dead power works regardless of your skill bar. Which item is sanctified depends on the version: Funerary Pick (GR push), Scythe of the Cycle (Speed farming) and Echoing Fury (Torment 16 / Nephalem rifts). Since the power is rolled at random, a Sanctified item can be sanctified again with another Crucible. All powers are listed on the Season 40 page.
