This wisp is nominally under the necromancer's control, but will focus its attacks foremost on the creature it was created from, instinctually trying to return to its proper home once more. The victim will be weakened until the wisp reverts to where it belongs. \n\nWisps created from more powerful souls have more damaging attacks, but are always fragile.",
