The Dark Wisp is a shadowy wisp with the same stats as a normal wisp but evil karma. In game it's simply called a wisp.

Overview

  • In-game name: a wisp (the same name as a normal wisp)
  • Corpse: a wisp corpse
  • Ethic: it's tied to the Evil ethic, and it has negative karma, unlike the normal wisp.
  • Behavior: it leaves you alone unless you attack it, then fights like a spellcaster (mage AI), mixing spells with melee.
  • Movement: it is one of the faster creatures in the game (fast speed).
  • Enemies: fey creatures (wisps, pixies, centaurs, ethereal warriors and the like) and the undead are enemies and attack each other on sight.
  • Speech: it speaks the wisp language.
  • Quick to switch targets: it looks for a new target every second.

Abilities

Magic

It fights with the mage AI: it closes to melee range but casts between swings. Its Magery is 80.0 and its Evaluating Intelligence 80.0.

  • Damage spells: Magic Arrow, Harm, Fireball, Lightning, Mind Blast, Energy Bolt, Explosion and Flame Strike.
  • Other spells: about 1 cast in 8 is Poison (only if you aren't poisoned already). It may also Bless itself, curse you (Weaken, Clumsy, Feeblemind or Curse), drain your mana (Mana Drain or Mana Vampire) or Paralyze you.
  • Healing: it cures itself when poisoned, and sometimes heals itself (Greater Heal when badly hurt), more often the higher its Magery.
  • Dispel: with 196+ Intelligence it can cast Dispel on your summoned creatures (more reliably the higher its Magery).

Loot

Every dark wisp carries:

  • Gold: about 320–500 in total (from its "Rich" and "Average" loot)

It may also carry:

  • A magic weapon, armor piece or shield (up to 6 chances, from about 20% down to 0.5% each)
  • A musical instrument (about 1.4% or less)

Carving

There's nothing to carve from its corpse.

Tips

  • It looks like a shadow wisp but fights like a full wisp; don't underestimate it.
  • Same loot as a wisp: "Rich" plus "Average".
