Can someone please explain exactly how this unique jewel works?

The Passive tree is made up of 5 kinds of Nodes.

Travel Nodes: Function like a Road going to and from different areas of the passive tree

Small passive nodes: the smaller nodes in each "wheel" of the passive tree, offering small bonuses usually within a specific scheme such as 12% increased fire damage

Notable Passive Nodes The larger Nodes within a wheel, they usually have more significant or unique bonuses within a wheel archetype and have unique names like "Heavy Buffer" or "Resolution" and require getting at least one of the Small passive nodes in the wheel before you can get to it

Keystone passives: the Largest Icons on the passive tree. Usually alone with no other points required to get to them beyond travel nodes, usually change base rules of the game and have flavor text such as "Whispers of doom" allowing you to apply multiple curses instead of the usual one.

and Jewel Sockets which allow you to use items to customize the jewels and are usually on the same lines as the Travel nodes.

Against the Darkness goes into the Jewel sockets and applies additional stats/attributes to the Small passive nodes and the Notable passive nodes.

I hope this answers your question.

Notables are the big nodes in your tree.

Each notables allocated within the jewel's circle will grant the extra stats on the jewel. So for example, Illuminated Crown normally grants 20% light radius and 70% energy shield from helmet, but it would now also grant 6% reduced ignite duration and +10 spirit

The jewel itself can have a bunch of different stats, so this is only one example

Can we talk about how shitty gem placement is for warrior (left side) tree? There’re basically no worthy place to put time-lost jewel to apply plenty of useful nodes.

Yes it answers exactly how the jewel is supposed to work but look at this pic I included

That is the one I’m actually using and the fire resistance is not being reflected in my stats?
