they are stupid, but they balance out certain classes. L2 has a fairly delicate balance right now. Also the animatino looks cool.

In Aion, they appear to be craftable by anyone, so I don't think that they will be the money sink that everyone is looking for.
To end the discussion about L2 SS's SS = 2x damage but the SS requirement for weapons increased / decreased depending on which weapon you used.
Does anyone have the equivalent for magic users? Do SS also work for spells? How about skills?

They double'd your damage, in the case of mages, spiritshots did 1.5x damage, while blessed spiritshots did 2x damage (it might have been 2x/4x).
As you level up your consumption of them per shot decreases, and the price to craft them (and the level required by the crafter) increases. It reaches a point where if you arent farming at end game, you wont be making enough money to buy them...unless you already have a ton of money, but you will be losing it. Some people use lowergrade weapons outside of pvp just to be cheaper. Also you are limited to how many you can carry...because you get debuff when you are overweight, so the balance of chars also depends on how many shots/poitions/consumables they can carry.
