I can second that. I could not scratch them with bone spirit since the
spirit didn't "find" the specter. It bounced back and forth as described
in the previous post without hitting the monster. Then a druid came a

what, a fellow sorc also tried a couple of different elemental spells
but to no avail. Strange!
