Summon Spectral Orcs

Version 0.17: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

Summons between one and three spectral orcs, specialised for melee combat and equipped with spectral weaponry and armour.

Summon Spectral Orcs is a monsters-only spell which functions like a weakened Haunt, summoning 1-3 orcish spectral things into existence. Like Haunt, the spell spawns the resulting monsters centered upon on its targets' tile:

• Spectral orc warrior (50% chance)
• Spectral orc (30%)
• Spectral orc knight (16.7%)
• Spectral orc warlord (3.3%)

The threat posed by these specters varies greatly based on what gets summoned; a few orc warriors are nothing to worry about, but a single orc warlord can be devastatingly powerful, especially considering that it comes with draining-branded attacks. Annoying though it may be, examine the creatures this spell summons before deciding how to act.
