It happened to me often using Bone Spirit against the specters. You can
always kill the first or second one then the spell move back and forth
without damaging any other spirits. You need to move away so the specters
change position then you can kill them. About the Heliophants, it is their
Boss who heal them so you need to kill the Boss first. If there are many
boss they simply can not be killed unless you have someone to help you.
