Halloween Spells are single use tool items that are used to give various Halloween themed effects to weapons or hats depending on what spell it is. They were added in the Spectral Halloween Special. It should be noted that not only do the Spell Items expire on November 9th, but the spell effects upon other items expire on November 9th as well.

They can be found inside Haunted Halloween Gifts on the map Ghost Fort.
