Wisp Species in The Fantasy Nexus | World Anvil

Wisp

Wisps are departed spirits with only minor regrets, and as such are not able to take the full humanoid (or otherwise) form that they did in life. Usually they appear as a small ball of blue fire. They are capable of speech.

Basic Information

Anatomy

Wisps appear as a simple ball of blue fire. When speaking, they pulse with light.

Genetics and Reproduction

A wisp is produced when someone dies with minor regrets, not strong enough to become a ghost, but not weak enough to truly pass on.

Ecology and Habitats

Wisps can be found often lingering around areas with high concentrations of magic along with fairies. When questioned why, they simply respond that they feel "drawn" there.
