Sanctuary is a level 24 skill from the Paladin's Offensive Auras Tree.

Sanctuary

Required Level: 24
Prerequisites: Might, Thorns, Holy Fire, Holy Freeze
Synergies: Cleansing adds +7% Magic Damage Per Level, but only to the knockback damage, not to the +damage to weapon attacks.
Details: This aura only works against the Undead, but provides the Paladin with a substantial damage bonus, as well as working to push back and constantly deal holy damage to all Undead in range.

Sanctuary will set the Physical Resistances of an undead (immune or not) to 0 if it's positive. This effect will only work for the one having the aura (party members do not benefit). Sanctuary does not work on elemental resistances/immunities.
Steal Life/Mana items work against PI undead monsters as long as they have positive drain effectiveness.
Works on boss monsters and Undead SuperUniques such as Griswold and Radament, but does not work against Act Bosses.
The pulse damage (also, it causes knockback) is holy type damage, NOT magical. Holy type damage is different from magical type damage so magical immunity/resistance has no bearing on holy type damage. But unlike magical type damage, Holy damage ONLY works on undead.
The "enchant damage to undead" is bugged and doesn't work. If you use this aura, basically what you get is the lower Physical Resistance to 0 and knockback effect.

-* Sanctuary does not break the physical immunity of undead monsters, but it does allow physical attacks to leach life and mana from them.
-* Since Sanctuary bypasses physical resistance, it actually works even better than the numbers would indicate. Level 1 Sanctuary grants 150% bonus damage against a monster with 50% physical resistance, while Level 20 [[Fanaticism]]'s 373% damage bonus is cut to 187%. Level 20 Sanctuary is more than 4x as damaging as level 20 Fanaticism, against most undead in [[Hell]]. (Though it works only against Undead, and grants no attack speed or attack rating bonuses.)
