Wisp in a Bottle



The Wisp in a Bottle is a post-Plantera Hardmode Light Pet item used to summon a light-providing "wisp" that follows the player. The Wisp is brighter and keeps better pace with the player than other Light Pets, moving in accordance with the direction keys the player is pressing.

The Wisp in a Bottle has a 0.25% chance (0.375% in expert mode) to drop from Blue Armored Bones, Hell Armored Bones, and Rusty Armored Bones.

Tips

 * Grappling a block will allow you to direct the Wisp without moving your character.
 * Applying Shadow Dye to the Wisp will render it nearly invisible while still providing light, should players wish for such a thing for cosmetic reasons. Some other dyes can achieve this effect as well, although to a lesser degree.

Trivia

 * Wisp may refer to Will-o'-the-wisps, mythological creatures that lead travelers to their death in swamps.
 * It may also refer to the Ghost Familiar from the Castlevania series, given the similar sprite and effects.
 * It is the only "in a Bottle" accessory which cannot be used to double jump or craft a balloon.
 * This item may also be a reference to The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, where the player can catch a Poe's soul, which appears in the form of a flaming face/skull, in a Bottle.
