Wisp in a Bottle



The Wisp in a Bottle is a Hardmode, post-Plantera Light Pet item used to summon a light-providing Wisp that follows the player. While active, it is similar to the Flickerwick. The Wisp is brighter and keeps better pace with the player than other Light Pets, except the Suspicious Looking Tentacle and which have the same light radius. It moves in accordance with the direction keys the player is pressing. The Wisps' movement range appears to be about 7 tiles to the left, right, and below the player's hitbox and 7 tiles above the Wisp's normal starting position.

The Wisp in a Bottle has a 0.25% / (1/400 / ) chance to drop from Blue Armored Bones, Hell Armored Bones, and Rusty Armored Bones.

Tips

 * Grappling a block will allow the player to freely direct the Wisp.
 * Applying Twilight Dye, Living Ocean Dye or Living Flame Dye seemingly turns the Wisp completely invisible while still providing light, should players wish for such a thing for cosmetic reasons or when fighting Dungeon Spirits. Some other dyes can achieve this effect as well, such as Shadow Dye, although to a lesser degree.
 * When directing the Wisp into a Cloud Block, it will glow significantly brighter, unlike most light sources.
 * For some reason, the wisp will increase the Rainbow Crystal Staff's range, acting as a relay point between the Rainbow Crystal and its target.

Trivia

 * The Wisp appears to be a flaming skull.
 * Wisp refers to s, mythological ghost lights reported to lead travelers to their death in swamps.
