Spice Ghost

The Spice Ghost is a type of summoned entity which Pastamancers can call upon in combat under certain conditions. By using scintillating powder a Pastamancer can establish a connection with a spice ghost.

Once connected, the Pastamancer can then summon it from the first round of combat after getting the jump on an enemy. It delevels the opponent throughout the fight and occasionally drops spices at the end of combat.
