Spectral armor or Spectral set is a top-tier Hardmode magic armor / vanity set. The set consists of the Spectral Headgear, Spectral Armor, and Spectral Subligar.
On the Old-gen console, Windows Phone, and versions, a full set grants 40 defense, 150 increased maximum mana, 30% increased magical damage, 33% reduced mana use, 10% increased movement speed, and 25% increased magical critical strike chance. Each separate piece of Spectral armor has an 11% chance to be dropped by Ocram, or can otherwise be crafted.
On the PC version, Console version, Old Chinese version, tModLoader version, and tModLoader 1.3-Legacy version, the set is vanity, offering no defense or bonus when equipped, and is occasionally sold by the Traveling Merchant.
The Spectral armor has a non- exclusive counterpart, being Spectre armor, as they are both obtained post-Plantera. Spectral armor is available pre-Plantera as it is possible to summon Ocram pre-Mechanical Bosses, but is not recommended.

Trivia
- The Spectral Subligar was the only item in the game to increase a player's Mana by an amount not divisible by 20. (This was changed as of the 1.2 Console update.)
- Currently, the Spectral set is tied with the Diamond Robe + Magic Hat in maximum mana increase.
- The Spectral armor's shirt is called Spectral Armor, which can lead to some confusion when discussing the armor with other players. Magic armor sets usually have a breastplate or robe for the shirt slot.
- Wearing the Spectral Headgear, the Diamond Robe and the Spectral Subligar can increase your maximum mana by 230, the highest known amount.
- Spectral armor is the only Ocram dropped armor that is comparable to its non-
exclusive counterparts (based on stats alone.)
