Appearance

A small, drifting fae spirit shaped like a curled leaf‑sprite with a soft green glow. Its light flickers like a candle caught in a breeze, and its eyes shine like dew on moss.

Nature

Lantern‑Wisps are guides, tricksters, and watchers of forgotten woodland paths. They are neither malicious nor benevolent — they simply follow their own ancient whims.

Special Abilities

• Dazzling Glow: Once per encounter, a Lantern‑Wisp may flare brightly. All creatures within 10 feet must save or suffer disadvantage on their next attack as their vision swims with afterimages.
• Guide or Mislead: A Lantern‑Wisp can choose to illuminate a safe path or lure wanderers deeper into the wild. Characters following it gain either advantage or disadvantage on navigation checks, depending on the Wisp’s mood.
• Fae Resilience: Mundane weapons deal only half damage. Cold iron deals full damage.

Rumours & Hooks

• Some say a Lantern‑Wisp appears when a lost child cries in the woods.
• Others claim they gather around ancient stones on moonless nights, whispering in a language older than men.
• A dying Wisp leaves behind a tiny seed of light — a treasure sought by hedge‑witches and scholars alike.
