Spectral Cloud is a monster-only spell which creates clouds of ghostly flame. These deal a small amount of partially-irresistible negative energy damage to anything caught inside them, though the undead are immune to this. They also occasionally spawn short-lived spectral things which immediately attack you. Followers of Yredelemnul are completely immune to these clouds.

The following enemies cast Spectral Cloud:

• t Ghost crab
• z Revenant soulmonger
