I Feel Like Wisp Is More Desert Based Than Ghost/Spirit

[AzirTheSandGod]

So wisps abilities came out and honestly, the only thing that can be considered spirit esque or ghost is her passive and 2nd ability, her other abilities and look is more desert civilization type, like the scarf and head wrap as well as the plants and sun, i just think that the name wisp made us think more for ghosts when the proper name should be genie or something

Will o wisp is what you are looking for and everything is easily connected back to the popular myths surrounding the name. When did genies/djinn open portals to the Sun?

Easier to explain if you r talking about an Ifrit but whatever man.

[0_The_F00l]

Yes

Agreed OP , she must be based on Desert / Djinn themed more than anything. Forget the " Wisp " name , to me its just a left over from early devbuild. Hope she gets a better name on release.

Lets see what she has ;

• Nomad-like appearance ( even has oriental look ).
• Ghostly passive.
• Summoning Djinn-like spiritual benevolent ( buff ) and malevolent ( CC , damage ) creatures.
• Visually sand-like wraith teleport.
• Sun / Light / Fire themed abilities like any other desert themed characters in video games.

Not to mention Djinns are creatures made of fire in Arabic mythology.

It's easier to explain her this way rather than justifying her kit as " portal mage ".

Last time I checked, "Will-O-Wisps" are some kind of fire spirit.

Her 4 literally summons the friggin sun.

 

Sounds good to me.

Can Wisp fly away on the edges of lakes when seen by enemies? If not, not very Wisp-like.

I'd be very afraid of those adorable mysterious wisps if they could summon the sun... Especially since I keep kidnapping them to craft things out of their tiny bodies!

Taken from the Will-O-Wisps. I see nothing wrong in Wisp regarding that.

Wisp’s alt helmet and overall aesthetic design definitely does have some influence from this game. As per her theme, Wisp is derived from Will’o’Wisp which is a fire spirit.

Her kit does seem to be all over the place.

Plants and desert don't usually get along too well. Swamps on the other hand....

Adam was made from clay, after djinn were made from fire. They're said to be made of smokeless fire. Seems apt. 

[seprent]

Wisp is a desert sorceress from dark souls 

Change my mind

Yea but her first ability is Reservoir's name is quite similar in definition to an Oasis, a place usually found with water and plant life in the desert

[TioMegaManX]

Well, Revenant is more common Sentient based than Eidolon so it is to be expected.

Or swamps. And wisps are often found near swamps.

"The wetlands contained 280 species of vascular plants, 45% of the reserve's flora, in only 1.1% of its area. Local diversity averaged 24 ± 0.7 species per 7 m², much higher than in the surrounding upland forests." 

 

That's for one small wetland area in Quebec. 😜

The area is not confirmed to have wisps.
