-{{CBA|0.33|water elementals and [[list of jellies|jellies]] will get a new '''M_AMORPHOUS''' flag, which grants monsters web, net, constriction immunity, and [[Shatter]] resistance.}}
+*Prior to [[0.33]], elemental wellsprings weren't [[amorphous]].
 *Prior to [[0.28]], elemental wellsprings had fast regeneration. Wellsprings took damage when using Primal Wave (5-19 HP), and water elementals were summoned through the use of the spell. Also, wellsprings only created shallow water directly underneath themselves.
 *Elemental wellsprings were originally used in [[Depths]] and [[Forest]] during [[0.13]] and [[0.14]] development, with an initial version directly and relentlessly casting an uncapped [[Summon Water Elementals]] alongside [[Primal Wave]]s. They were considered excessive for their depth in their spam, and removed before the stable releases. Though retired, they were brought back in [[0.16]] for use in post-game.

+'''Elemental wellsprings''' are obnoxious aquatic monsters which batter you with [[Primal Wave]]s, all the while summoning many hostile [[water elemental]]s. They can be found mainly in [[Cocytus]] and Cocytus-themed [[Ziggurat]]s, but also rarely in [[Shoals]] and the [[Depths]].

 ==Tips & Tricks==
-*Primal Wave is a fairly powerful spell, dealing significant damage and pushing you around the battlefield. Resisting it is tricky: unless you're an aquatic character ([[octopode]]s and [[merfolk]]) or non-breathing (grey [[draconian]]s and the undead), you'll take full damage. Flight will help you navigate the suddenly flooded battlefield. A side-effect of the primal flood is a 3x3 square of shallow water that renders useful terrain features (like stairways!) temporarily inaccessible. These water summons time out on their own; killing the spellcaster has no effect.
+*Primal Wave is a fairly powerful spell, dealing significant damage and pushing you around the battlefield. Resisting it is tricky: unless you're an amphibious character ([[octopode]]s, [[merfolk]], [[barachi]]m and grey [[draconian]]s) or non-breathing (the undead, [[djinn]], [[gargoyle]]s and [[Statue Form]]), you'll take full damage. Flight will help you navigate the suddenly flooded battlefield. A side-effect of the primal flood is a 3x3 square of shallow water that renders useful terrain features (like stairways!) temporarily inaccessible.
 *The water elementals an elemental wellspring summons function like any other summoned unit: if you kill the summoner, the summons die with it. However, ignoring them might be risky for spellcasters, as their attacks can effectively [[silence]] you. Moving away from the elemental will break its hold on you and end the silence... at least until it hits you again.
-*Wellsprings can't [[see invisible]], and are much less likely to cast magic against an [[invisible]] character.
+*Wellsprings can't [[see invisible]], and are much less likely to cast magic against an [[invisible]] character. Just be aware that invisibility is negated by being in water if you aren't flying.
-*You probably shouldn't be spending very long in [[Cocytus]] anyway. If you see a wellspring and don't want to deal with it, consider just changing direction and exploring somewhere else. Those [[stairs]] can generate anywhere.
+*Wellsprings themselves aren't particularly vulnerable to [[fire]] damage, but [[Ignition]] works very well against their densely packed summons. This will also create large numbers of sightline-blocking [[steam]] clouds if the wellspring is over a large body of water (which is common in Cocytus).
