-Lightning spires offer a fair bit of damage for its MP cost, at least for the early game. Unlike other low-level summons, it can shoot from a distance. One use of the spire is with [[kiting]]: summon a spire, back away, and let the spire get free shots. Even if you can't kite, it's good for the damage/MP alone.
+Lightning spires have great MP efficiency, and, unlike other [[Forgewright]] starting spells, can fire from max range. One use of the spire is with [[kiting]]: summon a spire, back away, and let the spire get free shots. Even if you can't kite, it's still good for the high damage per MP.
 Electric bolts can [[doublezap]] if they reflect off a [[wall]]. If the spire isn't placed in a way that allows that to happen and you have MP to spare, you can summon a new one to try to place it somewhere better.

 *Like other summons, spires can be used to block line of fire, or to seal off a corridor when you need to retreat.
 **However, the random placement might mean that the spire blocks off ''your'' retreat path. You can attack it with ctrl-direction or '''v''' to deconstruct it.
-*Spires are immune to  [[electricity]], [[poison]], and [[negative energy]], so you can use spells of those elements without harming the spire.

-An immobile lightning spire that shoots [[Electrical Bolt|bolts of electricity]] will be summoned in a random location within two tiles of the caster. The location must be empty and not [[deep water]] or [[lava]].
+An immobile lightning spire that shoots [[Electrical Bolt|bolts of electricity]] will be constructed in a random location within two tiles of the caster. The location must be empty and not [[deep water]] or [[lava]].
 Spires' Electrical Bolts can pierce through enemies and will bounce from most [[wall]]s (potentially [[doublezap|hitting targets twice]]). Unlike the similar [[Lightning Bolt]] spell, the lightning spire's bolts are quiet and reasonably accurate.
 Higher spell power increases the spire's [[hit dice]], which increases its HP, accuracy, and damage. Lightning spire HD equals <code><spell power> / 10</code> (minimum of 1).<ref>{{source ref|0.32.1|spl-summoning.cc|924}}</ref>.
