The Shadow Spectres make use of a unique, complex targeting matrix known as the '''Ghostlight'''. This matrix further amplifies the effective range and power of the warriors' already-formidable weaponry.
When used, the Ghostlight will allow a Spectre squad to combine the beams of their prism rifles into a single, brilliant torrent of energy; the additional power allows the squad to fire a single incredibly long-ranged shot, allowing them to hit distant targets.<sup>1</sup>
The firepower of a shot fired from the Ghostlight is also increased somewhat, but is much weaker than the squad's combined firepower had they fired their weapons independently.<sup>1</sup> Even so, the drastic range increase allows a single Spectre squad to extend reach over the entire battlefield: two or three well-aimed, well-placed Ghostlight shots could severely cripple or outright destroy an opposing force's armored support before the bulk of the battle has even been met.
