Vengeful Spirit

Use
Press FOCUS/CAST or QUICK CAST without holding UP or DOWN to launch a projectile that passes through enemies and deals damage. The projectile will pass through invulnerable parts of an enemy, such as a shield or shell, but will not damage a fully protected enemy.

Before the player has acquired any other Spells, Vengeful Spirit will cast regardless of the direction being held.

How to Acquire
It is given by the Snail Shaman located in the Ancestral Mound in the Forgotten Crossroads.

Game Progress
With the Vengeful Spirit spell, the player can kill the Elder Baldur blocking the way to Greenpath. This is the only way the player can progress through to the rest of the game.

Trivia
"A desire for revenge is seared into the SOUL of those who fell in battle or were wronged in life. A Shaman can concentrate this desire and cast it out into the world to burn away whatever stands before them."
 * Interestingly, the game files refer to this spell as "Fireball":
