Spectral Spectrum was a tool item. It could be used on any paintable cosmetic item. The paint on such item has a different team-colored pulsating in intensity effect depending on the team the player is in. On RED team, the item's color shifts between shades of bright yellow, orange and deep red, while on BLU team, the color shifts between light blue and white.
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. Since Scream Fortress 2015, Halloween Spells are no longer obtainable, as Haunted Halloween Gifts were replaced with the Soul Gargoyle, which does not distribute spells nor the Voodoo-Cursed Items needed to craft the Pile of Curses. All remaining Halloween Spells persisting in players' backpacks remain visible in them as long as they do not launch the game; if they do, the spells are deleted. Any spells applied to items remain on them.
This effect is only active around Halloween or during a Full Moon; at other times of the year, it does not activate in gameplay, unless the server has Halloween mode enabled. However, items with the spell applied can be equipped at any time and their effect becomes active on the loadout screen, even when it is not activate during matches.
