Quicksilver Reload
I'm personally a fan of QSR and it can upgrade into magnum later. Can go active reload if you prefer but get 4800 spirit spike.
Duration Extender
Spirit Lifesteal
Toxic Bullets
Warp Stone
I'm a huge warp stone fan, very good into lots of heroes. Can skip if you don't like for fort/other greens.

Built from Extended Magazine
Swift Striker
Built from Rapid Rounds
Ricochet
Buy when your damage feels good, extremely good for teamfights especially with leech, silencer, etc.

Good stats
Boundless Spirit
Built from Improved Spirit
Infuser
Built from Spirit Lifesteal
This or leech
Crippling Headshot
Good for damage/anti heal.
Spirit Burn
I don't really buy but if enemy has too much healing and you have slots/money
Mercurial Magnum
Built from Quicksilver Reload
Very late game upgrade, not that good since infernus gun nerfs
Enduring Speed
Healbane
Can buy if you don't feel like getting enchanters/battle vest. Good spirit and also heal on kill is nice for fights
Dispel Magic
Bullet Resilience
Spirit Resilience
Counterspell
Can go this against certain ultis if you're being active. Wraith, holiday, etc. Just strong in general if you use it right.
Debuff Reducer
Unstoppable
Built from Debuff Reducer
Holy trinity is leech, ricochet, unstoppable for teamfights. You can get a lot done with this.
Spellbreaker
Built from Debuff Reducer
Good against some burst heroes, also gives debuff resist
Divine Barrier
I buy this sometimes against pocket, shorter cd than debuff remover and can be used on teammates. Only very late game.
Active Reload
Possible buy instead of QSR, can also sub this in for some of the oranges. Just make sure you get 4800 spirit spike ASAP.
Fleetfoot
If you like fleetfoot and have slots, I personally don't go for it.
Spirit Shredder
It is alright, some anti spirit resist, usually more important items to buy though
Spirit Rend
Built from Spirit Shredder
It is alright, some anti spirit resist, usually more important items to buy though
Silencer
Can buy if enemy has a ton of annoying casters, good with rico
Capacitor
Don't think you buy. Anti movement.
Burst Fire
Built from Rapid Rounds
Can get if you want more attack speed, good for burst and sliding
Leech
Built from Spirit Lifesteal
Leech is extremely strong, you can go this very early if you are very ahead and want to start 1v6ing
Rebuttal
Don't usually buy unless they have a lot(really a lot) of melee
Battle Vest
Can buy enchanters instead if enemy is spirit.
Spirit Shielding
Weapon Shielding
Hard to procc so I'd just go for spirit or reactive if you really need.
Reactive Barrier
