“Lead then, said Eve. Hee leading swiftly rowld<br><br />
In tangles, and made intricate seem strait,<br><br />
To mischief swift. Hope elevates, and joy<br><br />
Bright'ns his Crest, as when a wandring Fire<br><br />
Compact of unctuous vapor, which the Night<br><br />
Condenses, and the cold invirons round,<br><br />
Kindl'd through agitation to a Flame,<br><br />
Which oft, they say, some evil Spirit attends<br><br />
Hovering and blazing with delusive Light,<br><br />
Misleads th' amaz'd Night-wanderer from his way<br><br />
To Boggs and Mires, and oft through Pond or Poole,<br><br />
There swallow'd up and lost, from succour farr.”<br><br />
-John Milton, _Paradise Lost_}}<br />

==Useful Info==<br />
'''Insubstantial wisps''' are very irritating monsters, even worse than early [[imp]]s. They have high [[evasion]], [[blink]] constantly, and resist nearly everything. To make matters worse, they are encountered in packs and can be dangerous if they surround you. Wisps are found in the [[Dungeon]], [[The Swamp]], and [[the Abyss]].<br />
<br />
[[Wisp Form]] is a [[bad form]] that is similar to the monster.<br />

==Tips & Tricks==<br />
*Melee characters can eventually take them out with standard attack strategies, and heavy armour combined with [[electricity]] resistance greatly reduces the threat they pose. It just requires more patience than usual.<br />
*Spellcasters should try to use [[Earth Magic]] and non-elemental [[Conjurations]], such as [[Magic Dart]], [[Iskenderun's Mystic Blast]], or the highly effective and 100% accurate [[Airstrike]]. [[Hailstorm]] will also partially work (and can strike multiple wisps at once). High-level elemental spells can take them out with repeated use, but lesser elemental spells will take too long to be practical.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
*In [[0.26]], insubstantial wisps were replaced with [[will-o-the-wisp]]s. [[Wisp form]] is still in the game, though.<br />
*In [[0.16]], became more fragile & less numerous, but gained Static Discharge.<br />
*In [[0.11]], [[AC]] was lowered from 20 to 5.</div>Maintenance script
