Raised Rares Do Not Possess Modifiers

If you manage to turn rare monsters to spectres, do know that they won't be able to carry over their modifiers as rare enemies. It's more important to determine the monster type you wish to turn to spectres.

Different Monsters Have Different Spirit Cost

Not all spectres have the same cost when summoned as a minion. Each spectre have their own respective spirit cost. Stronger and bigger monsters will naturally have higher spirit costs than weaker and smaller monsters so take your spirit limit into consideration.

As raised spectres function the same as raised skeletons, they will also naturally respawn when slain after a few seconds. No need to worry and protect your spectres and let them fight for you.

Not exactly a permanent bond. Here's how Raise Spectre works: when you use the skill on a corpse, it binds that spectre to the skill gem itself. The gem effectively "remembers" that spectre type. You can always remove or swap the gem, so it's not a permanent connection — but that specific gem will always summon that spectre type unless overwritten. If you want to summon a different spectre type, you'd need to use a different gem or overwrite the one you're using. Hope that helps!
