Strategy
While somewhat dubious, Wisp Form may be useful in the Tomb. Its full suite of resistances (with mobility) are incredibly useful for stealing the rune and getting out. Using a scroll of teleportation can get you closer. Of course, this comes at the risk of the form running out. A wand of polymorph on the stairs of Tomb:2 can be used until you become a wisp.
History
- Prior to 0.27, wisp form would randomly blink you.
- Prior to 0.26, the form had rot resistance.
- Prior to 0.22, wisp form, along with most other bad forms, disallowed the use of wands.
- Prior to 0.15, wisp form allowed the player to blink as an ability, but prevented you from reading scrolls. It also granted perfect conservation, protecting your consumables from item destruction.
- Wisp Form was added in 0.12.
