Spectral Blade is a melee-range, physical-damage, magical attack spell of the Wizard. The weapon is not actually used for the attack, instead it is holstered and the attack is purely magical, though weapon damage is a key factor in determining the damage. Other modifiers from the weapon, such as cold or poison damage, are also included.

<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>
