A Will-o'-Wisp is a faintly-glowing sphere of light that is yellow or white. It is easily mistaken for a lantern, especially in the foggy marshes and swamps where it typically resides. A will-o'-wisp's body is a globe of spongy material about 1 foot across and weighs about 3 pounds. Its body casts as much light as a torch. It has no vocal apparatus, but can vibrate to create a voice with a ghostly sound.

The will-o'wisp feeds on the creature's terror. It regains 2d4 Hit Points, and if it has Gone Dark, its glow reignites. A will-o'-wisp can take this action only once per round.
Ability
Glow
(aura, light) 20 feet. A will-o'-wisp is itself naturally invisible, but glows with a colored light, casting bright light in the aura and making it visible.
Ability
Go Dark
(concentrate) The will-o'-wisp extinguishes its glow, becoming invisible. It can end this effect with another use of this action. If it uses its shock attack while invisible, the arc of electricity lets any observer determine its location, making the will-o'-wisp only hidden to all observers until it moves.

A will-o'-wisp is immune to all spells except faerie fire, glitterdust, magic missile, and maze.
