  1. When I read the title, I was thinking something more "Lights of Zetar"-ish, incorporeal beings with the ability to magic jar somebody.

    1. Hmm, I don't know what the Lights of Zetar are...I take it from Trey's comments below that they are from Star Trek?

  2. The lights of Zetar would be a good monster to convert. There would be a lot of good monsters to steal from original Trek now that I think about it.

    Anyway, cool will o' wisp variant. I'm surprised you didn't go with the more goth-y sounding "corpselight" as their moniker, though. Will o' wisps have a lot of cool alternate names.

  3. Heh, I had already used corpselight for something else!

    2. I've probably only seen 1% of Star Trek episodes, really. Alas!

    4. I'm shockingly unversed in several geek things: I've never seen Firefly or played Magic: the Gathering either.
