Quick question about spirits

I know that if I drop a nature ritual, and someone in my team uses the same one within range of the first, one will be destroyed. What happens if the same thing happens, but the second spirit is from the opposing team? Does it still destroy mine, or do both spirits live?

the older one gets destroyed by the new one

doesnt matter from which team it is

Also if the same spirit is casted at the same time they both die. Had that happen the other day in tombs. was on a b/p run. Leader had us double up on spirits in case someone left or whatever. Soon as we enter I go to the corner & cast Winnowing (I also called it). another ranger in the group apparently did the same. So we fought the 1st group without winnowing. The leader called out for winnowing after the 1st group was killed out. I tell him its recharging. Once it had recharged I called it again & casted. Same ranger did it again casted & didnt call it. So we ended up doing 1/2 of the first map without winnowing.
Anet put that in so team wouldnt be spamming spirits in the arenas. So make sure your team members are calling out their spirits.

Since we already have a thread, really basic question -- do Nature Rituals cause any kind of Death Penalty?

how would they? :S

Because they used to back in the betas. Of course, they were considerably more powerful, since they were completely global and I think unkillable.

But, no, they don't cause DP anymore.

Thanks. So the site I got the info from is obsolete. That helps.

(I've only played my ranger to Sardelac, so I wouldn't exactly know this from experience ...)

Imagine old Nature Ritual + Candy Cane combos. :S
