Descriptions
not necessarily ordered by position/number

Kormirian Chained Spirit Spammer of Holy Spirits

 * Description
 * "Chained" - This spirit cannot move. It will respawn 10 seconds after being killed if when it died there were any other spirit alive in its range.
 * Range effect "Holy Barrier" - All spirits in its range receive 50% less Holy damage.
 * Action - Resummons a new spirit at the Spirit's original location (Activation: 3 seconds; Recharge time: 10 seconds).
 * Notes
 * This is not a regular Spirit, but rather a Ghostly spirit. It'll take double damage from Holy (cancels out effect of Holy Barrier)
 * The summoning is a Skill and may be interrupted.
 * Highest priority for resummoning are the spirits that are destroyed or moved (does not distinguish between the two), then by the age of the spirit (if a spirit is recently resummoned, it has less priority).
 * A resummoned spirit will destroy the older counterpart if they are within range of each other. This can be exploited as energy-management tool for Necromancers.

Abaddonian Spirit of Chaotic Toes

 * Description
 * Range effect "Chaotic Toes" - Attacks by all creatures in range causes Weakness on Warriors, removes Stances from Rangers, Dazes Monks, cause Necromancers to sacrifice twice the health, removes a Glyph from Elementalists, teleports Assassins to random foe's location, removes an enchantment from Dervishes, sets Paragons on fire, removes Mesmers from the party, creates a Spirit of Dissonance at target Ritualist's position, and steals all health from single-profession creatures. (See Fingers of Chaos)
 * Action - none
 * Notes
 * This effect essentially buffs all attacking spirits and any masterless undead minions against your party.
 * Similar to Fingers of Chaos, this affects both primary and second professions.
 * Creatures without any profession (undead minions, summoned spirits) do not suffer any effects from attacks with Chaotic Toes.
 * Mesmers being hit will be removed from the party list for 3 seconds, and will not be able to benefit from party skills such as Heal Party or Light of Deliverance. However, they can be manually targeted with a mouse and healed or buffed using ally-targeting skills.  After 3 seconds they will reappear on the party list in a random position.
 * Effects on Warriors, Monks, Necromancers, and Paragons all last 3 seconds.
 * The Spirit of Dissonance is created instantly with 0 Communing Powers and naturally dies after 10 seconds. It prioritizes the closest target, which is usually the Ritualist.
 * Lightbringer skills and effects will consider this Spirit and any Spirits of Dissonances created by this Spirit as demonic servants of Abaddon.

Lyssian Distracting Cry Spirit of Conundrum

 * Description
 * Range effect "Conundrum" - All non-spirit creatures in range take twice as long to cast any skill. (See Arcane Conundrum)
 * Action - This spirits attack can hit anything in range. If its attack hits, the foe struck by its attack and all foes in the area are interrupted and any skill being used is disabled for 10 seconds. (See Cry of Frustration and Psychic Distraction)
 * Notes
 * This spirit will not attack anyone summoning a spirit. However somebody using Gaze of Fury still can get attacked because the skill only creates a spirit as a side effect.
 * The AI of this Spirit has the reflex to interrupt any 1/2 casting time (after delay) skill if it isn't in the middle of another attack.
 * The AI of this Spirit will prioritize targets casting a skill, followed by which target it hasn't interrupted recently. Thus it is possible to use have multiple decoy casters to manipulate the Spirit's targeting pattern to ensure a particular Spell will not be interrupted.
 * Unlike its namesake Arcane Conundrum (which only affects Spells), this Spirit slows down the casting of any skill type that has a non-zero cast time. Shouts and Stances are generally not affected since two times zero is still zero.

Lyssian Zealous Spirit of Shackles

 * Description
 * Range effect "Shackles" - All non-spirit creatures in range loses 1 energy when attacking. (See Spirit Shackles)
 * Action - This Spirit's attack deals 0 damage but steals 1 energy.

General notes

 * Players using Avatar of Melandru may be taking damage every second due to reapplied conditions combined with Fragile Dreams.
 * Having too many Ritualists may become spawn an unmanageable number of Spirits of Dissonance.
 * If you bring a significant number of Mesmers, make sure your healers have enough non-party-wide heals.
