Exorcism is a tool item. When applied to a weapon, any kills with that weapon cause team-colored ghost particles to rise from the corpse of the victim.

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.

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.
