Recalls a recently departed spirit from the afterlife. The resulting spectre is a type of minion.

Description

This ritual is performed in a room which contains recently killed NPCs. The maximum number of spectres is not known, certainly 3 are possible. The spectres will equip the weapons and armour of the recently deceased from which they arose; this means you can put items on the corpse prior to using the ritual which you wish the spectre to use. They are quite strong, and can be "order"ed to assist or protect or defend the priest in combat until they vanish or are damaged enough in combat that they can no longer remain. The life of a spectre can be prolonged by feeding it gp, but they cannot be healed. Quite heavy on gp drain, but useful as a young – mid level priest. Failing this ritual may cause a stat loss.

If you try to summon another minion, the spectre may "take advantage of your lapse in attention" to turn on you, attacking you for a bit. You won't be able to order it to leave if this happens. Log of losing control of spectre.

Help File
