Okay, maybe alot unrealistic. There are also a ton of other things if you played WoW that you would understand how being a wisp would be very unbalancing to the other races. <strong>Detonate:</strong> Destroys the wisp, dispelling all magical buffs and draining 50 mana from each unit in an area around the wisp. <strong>Gatherer:</strong> Skill to herbalism, mining, and skinning increased by 10. <strong>Permanent Death</strong> <strong>Treeform:</strong> Turns the wisp into a tree for 30 seconds. During this time, spirit is increased by 300. However, the wisp's chance to dodge or parry axes is reduced by 50%. Some things really don’t add up about the racial traits, and seem a bit unrealistic.

Who in their right mind would spend the time to level up their wisp character just so they can die in a flash of light and have to go back to level 1 again?

It just wouldn't work.
