 '''Haunt''' is a level 7 [[Necromancy]]/[[Summonings|Summoning]] spell, which uses [[smite-targeting]] to summon high level phantasms near an enemy.

+==Useful Info==
 Between 2 to 6 wraith-type monsters are summoned around the target. Unlike other summoning spells, Haunt cannot be cast without a valid hostile target. Possible summons include:<ref>{{source ref|0.28.0|spl-summoning.cc|1841}}</ref>

-For a character relying on Necromancy, Haunt is one way to kill enemies. This spell can kill monsters up to [[orbs of fire]], even if it takes multiple casts to do so. With Necromancy, killing just a few monsters can lead to an army, due to the snowball effect from spells like [[Death Channel]] and [[Infestation]]. This spell can also be useful to non-Necromancers, as its summons can be quite useful.
+For a character relying on Necromancy, Haunt is a great way to handle any type of enemy, whether it be [[nonliving]], [[undead]], or [[demonic]]. Even [[orbs of fire]] can be killed by this spell, although it'll take multiple casts. With Necromancy, killing just a few monsters can lead to an army, due to the snowball effect from spells like [[Death Channel]] and [[Infestation]]. This spell can also be useful to non-Necromancers, as its summons can be quite useful.
 The monsters summoned by Haunt tend to lack high damage output, though Haunt often creates a lot of monsters. In addition, these monsters can [[slow]] enemies. More importantly, ''nothing in the game can resist this slow''. This makes Haunt a good way to weaken (and ultimately deal with) nasty enemies.

+The summons will only attack the target selected by the caster, ignoring player commands. When the haunt target dies, the remaining monsters will expire within a few turns, regardless of how much duration was otherwise remaining (though they will be free to attack other targets during this short window).

 Unless the target dies, the summons have duration of around 27 turns. This does not depend on the spell power.
