VAcuitys Spirits and Ephemerals

Below lie descriptions of the new creatures to be found in the game. I\'ve only finished writing a couple of them out in full. I would recommend looking at the Bethesda boards where you can get support and see the illustrated versions of these descriptions. The vatte-lys. This creature is thought to be related to the well known will o\'the wisp common across Tamriel, but there are several stories about how these creatures come into existence. Some people believe they are formed from swamp gas coalescing around gem dust, some people say that they are formed from the souls of murdered children. Whatever and however they come into existence, these vatte-lys are dangerous, and should be avoided by all but the most foolhardy of adventurers. The vatte-lys comes in a relatively limited number of forms, only around two dozen forms are known, making it far less variable than many other of the creatures we will look at in later shows. Here we have some pictures of a blue form, a green form, and a yellow and orange form in an ayleid ruin. Although the vatte-lys appears huge in size, do not be fooled, when seen in motion, the vatte-lys\' true size is revealed. It turns out that the core of the vatte-lys is in fact scarcely larger than a tall nord. Anyone using magic or projectiles to defend themselves would do well to remember this fact: the layers of gas surrounding the vatte-lys are nothing but extraneous gas, to fight the vatte-lys you must aim at it\'s core. This centre is often easy to see as it has the highest density of gas and is typically the brightest part of the wisp. Nevertheless, this adds a degree of difficulty in targeting this creature. Persons reliant on melee combat to defend themselves will find that in order to engage the vatte-lys they must enter completely within the clouds of gas to reach the creature\'s core, a most unnerving prospect! Should you be unfortunate enough to be spotted by a vatte-lys before you see it, you will have little warning. When hunting, the vatte-lys betrays little visible sign, cautious adventurers may observe faint specks of light approaching them, but in general the vatte-lys is near invisible while approaching it\'s prey. Upon reaching it\'s prey, the vatte-lys boils into a great cloud of blackness, blotting out much of the victim\'s light and begins the highly unpleasant feeding process. As previously warned, despite the vatte-lys\' apparent large size, it is perfectly capable of chasing it\'s prey down small corridors and tight places. It is also quite powerful enough to fight groups of unwary travellers and devour them all. Only access to magic or items capable of damaging spirits offer any realistic option of defence. Those fortunate enough to have survived attacks by vatte-lys have reported the creature mystically absorbs their magicka and life energy, literally sucking it from their struggling bodies. In order to hasten their prey\'s demise the vatte-lys is also thought to be able to
