This article is about the guardian skill type. For the weapons, see Spirit weapons.

Spirit Weapons are ghostly weapons which attack enemies or give benefits to allies. They use an ammo count system that replenishes on a separate, longer recharge than the skills' recharge after use. Spirit weapon skills are utility skills.
