Spectral Flame is a tool item. When applied to any of the Pyro's primary weapons, any emitted flame particles and afterburn effects will be colored with a mixture of red and green.

Prior to Scream Fortress 2015, it could be found during Halloween events inside of Haunted Halloween Gifts on Ghost Fort, or from a Pile of Curses.
