Crystalline Wisp (animal)

Crystalline Wisps are small, floating creatures that resemble a crystal encased in an incandescent bubble of sea foam. Their form ebbs and flows with the changing of the tide. These wisps form from the crystal reefs throughout the Rocks of Guillate, and are fiercly protective of their homes. They are well known for their destructive capabilities when encountered at sea, and sailors often tell of the wisps destroying entire fleets.

Some believe the Crystalline Wisps are impossible to hunt due to their forms, but it can be done. You do not bring swords and axes, but good arrows, and fine prisms of Konijkmener glass. It is said that the best way to take the creatures down is to connect the prisms to the crystal held within the wisp's form. It would be difficult to do this up close, but a well place arrow can do the trick.

We crouch low to the ground, hidden behind a rocky outcropping overlooking a spawning pool for the wisps. Several ghostly forms float above the water, swirling in the air. I can barely see the heart of the creature through their constant movement, and while we may get the first, the others will surely not go down so easy. We will each need to move fast and precise if we hope to be victorious.
