__TOC__
'''Spirit Slayer''' summons a spirit which appears as a "mote of white light" surrounding the caster. This spirit lies dormant for the duration but can "flare with blinding brilliance," re-casting single-target offensive spells cast by its wearer. The effect also imparts a bonus of 25 to the [[attack strength|bolt attack strength]] (AS) or [[casting strength]] (CS) during subsequent attacks. This bonus can be increased with training in [[#Mana Control Benefit|Spiritual Mana Control]]. The spirit will cease its assault immediately if the original target dies.

Each attack made has a chance to ignite the spirit, causing it to repeat the attack. The possibility of recasts will continue through the duration of the spell, and can be improved with training in [[#Lore Benefit|Spiritual Lore, Summoning]]. Lore training will only increase the probability of the first recast.

Once the first recast has been triggered, additional recasts are possible based on the level of the attack spell. The probability of more recasts decreases exponentially as the level of attack spell increases. Spell level does not affect the chance of the first recast.

Spirit Slayer lasts for 30 seconds and is [[refreshable]]. While the effect is active, it has a chance of duplicating any single-target attack spell that the caster knows (spells from [[scroll]]s and [[magic item]]s will not trigger the spirit). Each time the spirit is activated it will cast the same previous spell used against the same foe targeted in the same manner (e.g. via {{mono|[[CAST]]}}, {{mono|[[CHANNEL]]}}, or {{mono|[[EVOKE]]}}). Recasts are automated, instantaneous, and will never cost the user additional mana.

==Mana Control Benefit==

Training in [[Spiritual Mana Control]] increases the bonus to AS and CS of {{mono|25 + 1 per seed 5 [[summation]] of ranks}}.

==Lore Benefit==

Training in [[Spiritual Lore, Summoning]] increases the chance for the spirit to activate and recast a spell by {{mono|60% + 2% per seed 1 [[summation]] of ranks}} (max 98% first recast at 190 ranks, or 100% at 210 ranks [[enhancive item|enhanced]]). Subsequent recasts are exponentially less likely than the preceding one, but the probability for each additional recast is also increased by this training.
