When dungeoneer Tony from Team 5 of Series 2 found a flagon on Level 2 and tipped it, intending to pour out any liquid within, a ghostly, larger-than-life image of Merlin appeared in the room. After a strained conversation in which the wizard struggled to hear Tony, Merlin declared, "I'm not carrying on long-distance conversations on the Spirit Level. It's far too tiresome." Although he carried on talking, he was cut off mid-sentence, and his image disappeared.

This appears to be a pun. Flagons traditionally contain alcohol, or spirit - which can also mean ghost. "Spirit Level", then, seems to refer to a channel through which remote, incorporeal conversation is possible within the Dungeon.
