GhostSlaying weapons

I wound up outleveling Veluta Lunata's arcs before I was able to start the second half. However, the GhostSlaying gun & grenades are still available to me. If I don't waste the charges, will they still work when I eventually get high enough to use Ouroboros? Also, do the weapons scale at all? As in, if I fight a ghost enemy at a higher level will it be similary effective as it is now or will it only work with enemies that are lvl 9-15?

All weapons scale to you that I know of. If they have charges, they will still work. If they're on a timer, they may expire.

To elaborate on this a bit:

Limited powers scale up with your level. If you get a limited power at level 10, it will be greyed out if you get exemplared/malefactored below it.

There are 3 types of limited powers:
1) charges - these are <blank>uses left and until you drain all the charges, they will stay.
2) active timer - These will, when activated, initiate a countdown timer. when they are detoggled, the timer freezes. until the timer runs out, you will retain the power.
3) persistent timer - these powers are always on from when you get them and have a timer running all the time. When the timer ends, so does the power. Usually used in the safegard/mayhem buff powers and day job buffs.

If by limited power, you mean temporary power, then that's not quite right. Temp powers are always available when you exemp, even when you exemp below the level you got them, unless you've picked an appropriate setting in a flashback (AT only powers, no temp powers, etc).

Specifically, yes the Ghostslayer weapons scale and are usable until you use up all the charges (I still have them on my level 50). Also, if you chose Black Scorpion as a patron you will obtain more, and you can Flashback and get more *IF* you have used up any existing ones. Newly obtained ones won't overwrite or recharge previous ones.

A good resource, as always, is the Wiki:
Temporary Powers

Might just be me, but they never impressed me, usage-wise. I had a few on my stalker I worked up to 50, but I always ended up ignoring them and going for the usual attack chain (meaning any attack, not just AS) because they never seemed to do as much or more damage.

Depends on your character. If you already do a ton of damage that undead don't resist, they're usually redundant. If not though, they can be very handy.
