Not a solely elemental creature, Wisp’s contain fragments of a humanoid soul and are seemingly held together by the magic in the Gossamer Bore. They are described as blue, wispy, floating balls of energy with screaming mouths in the center. As is characteristic of creatures residing in the Bore, Aerakel Wisps are attracted to heat and will reach out with tendrils to consume it. Their souls are considered consumable with the SOUL DRINKER ability. Upon defeat, they drop WISP CORES which are valuable. While they seem to ‘speak’ in an unidentifiable language, one encountered and defeated on LIONNIR 55TH uttered the word “Keswic” as it faded away. | Not a solely elemental creature, Wisp’s contain fragments of a humanoid soul and are seemingly held together by the magic in the Gossamer Bore.
