Wisp Spell Duration

It’s fleeting. Please add time to the duration of the spell. A 2 minute duration is not even enough to last through the night. Wisp spell, or a version of it, should last as long as a basic torch preferably!

Absolutely agree. And it needs to be brighter!

It should last infinitely, cast again to turn it off. atm it’s disappointing.

I would accept a cast on, cast off, but I would also be fine with a 20m to 1h duration wisp.

The current 2 minute buff duration is border line useless.

The Wisp spell goes against the old fantasy logic: “don’t use magic to do what a mundane tool does better”. Especially with a magic system where using spells costs pieces of your soul.

Sure, a wisp leaves your hands free so it’s better than a torch, but it should last through an average-length dungeon in order to be a functional utility tool.

There is already a framework for the different spell tiers, maybe giving a spell like the wisps all 3 tiers with increasing duration would do the trick.

T1 burlap - 5 min
T2 cloth - 10 min
T3 leather - 20 min

In my opinion it should not be better than a torch for lighting your surroundings, but it already allows you to use 2H or offhand.
would have loved this option for the bloodmoon beast event, where it is almost pitchblack.

I do like the idea of having different tiers of spells as your capabilities improve.

But sorcerers are already paying a price for their spells by becoming corrupted.

I would not like to see the wisp spell be useless at low levels, and costly/punishing at higher levels.

It’s a low tier spell, should just function well as a reliable light source.

Perhaps rate the brightness to your level of corruption? Brightest from casting it on a naturally corrupted follower like the stable animation…lookin like a neon disco comet train burpin and gurglin all over the place.

We can get cheap night vision potions. No reason why Wisp are so underwhelming. Maybe apply corruption while active, last longer and illuminate bigger area.

I agree this spell should have a longer duration
