+CBA per commit 0618abe and bump

Ge0ff: wiz-mode testing shows that they can't engulf even bats. it just gives them a flavour message when they attack. Water elementals have {AT_HIT, AF_ENGULF, 22}, but wills have {AT_ENGULF, AF_PLAIN, 20} (notice "af_plain" instead of "af_engulf")

 *Having [[fire resistance]] is recommended, due Marshlight's high damage output.
 *Wisps have many resistances themselves, so elemental spells are less effective. If you rely on elemental spells, you can use [[Alternate items#Wands|bolt wands]] (wisps don't resist [[acid]]), a [[tin of tremorstones]], or irresistible spells like [[Airstrike]] to take them out.
 *Foxfires require an open path in order to hit you, so you can potentially use corridors and monsters to block it. Unfortunately, it's hard to take advantage of this quirk in the Swamp, which is very open.
