Wisp in a Bottle



The Wisp in a Bottle is a post-Plantera Hardmode item used to summon a light-providing "wisp" that follows the player. It bears a close resemblance to the Dungeon Spirit. It serves the same purpose as the Shadow Orb or the Fairy Bell, but the Wisp is brighter and keeps better pace with the player, actually moving ahead in accordance with the direction keys the player is pressing. The Wisp in a Bottle is a rare drop from Blue Armored Bones, Hell Armored Bones, and Rusty Armored Bones (0.17% or about 1/600 chance).

It cannot be used together with the Shadow Orb or the Fairy Bell, and summoning either will dismiss the other. It cannot be Reforged.

Trivia

 * Wisp may refer to Will-o'-the-wisps, mythological creatures that lead travelers to their death in swamps.
 * In the console edition, the wisp can be alternatively controlled by moving the right stick, providing a way to make the wisp move without moving or grappling.
