Draw Steel Promptober ‘25
Day #8: Spirits
Will-o’-the-Wisp Minion
The entrancing flicker of the will-o’-the-wisp carries a supernaturally captivating power. Even the wariest of travelers has been known to follow these tiny floating orbs of multicolored light off the road — and, inevitably, to their doom.

Chilling Phasing: The wisp can move through creatures and objects at their usual speed, but can’t end their turn inside a creature or object. The first time in a round that any wisp moves through a creature, that creature takes 2 cold damage. The wisp doesn’t take damage from being force-moved into objects.
Detonate: When the wisp is reduced to 0 Stamina, grabbed, restrained, or knocked prone, they burst into a necromantic flare, dealing 2 corruption damage to each adjacent enemy.

Effect: Each wisp adding their free strike value to this ability may increase the forced movement distance by 1 instead.
Flavor: Follow the dancing lights, and you may never return home.

I was really tempted to make a consumable alcohol, but then I realized there's no traditional (undead) will-o'-the-wisp type enemy in the game — elemental motes just don't capture that spooky flavor. It's Day 8 of #ttrpgpromptober in Draw Steel! #promptober #drawsteel #spirits #willothewisp #wisps
