==Trait Synergies==Spectral Blade benefits directly from the following [[Wizard traits]]:* No [[Glass Cannonsynergies]]: Increases damage done by spells and increases armor.* [[Intimidation]]: Increases damage done and reduces vendor costs.* [[Quickening]]: Increases spell casting speed.* [[Beast Hunter]]: Damage bonus against beasts.* [[Demonsbane]]: Damage bonus against Demons.* [[Just...Stay...Dead!]]: Damage bonus against undead.* [[Power Surge]]: Increase critical strike damage.* [[Penetrating Spells]]: Reduces with any of the resistances of your target to your spells by 20%.'''Note:''' The current [[traitpassive skill]] list is very out-of-date and will no doubt be overhauled before game releases are yet known.
<blockquote>''I used it a few times in the demo this year; it did potentially more damage than MM, even with fewer skill points, but the melee range thing isn’t what you want to be doing with a Wizard. Better you kill them from a distance with MM than use a slightly more damaging skill at melee range, when they can hit you back. Being hit is for grunting meat shields like Barbarians and Monks; sophisticated classes like Wizards don’t like to get their uniforms smudged by filthy monster paws.</blockquote>
Skill tiers were removed for the July 2011 Press Event, and Spectral Blade became a level 5 skill.
