Sprite Weapons were first sold at Bloodriven Village in the Sprite Club in June 2018 by ASGM Retser. They can be blessed, ensorcelled, and enchanted, although the latter two are difficult (see below). Traditional flares can also be added. In 2018, they were sold off-the-shelf with a +20 (4x) enchant level. They have a special crush flare, known as a "sprite flare," that gets more potent as affinity grows.

Level 0 0
Level 1 1000?
Tier 1 Level 2 2,500
Level 3 5,000 After reaching Level 3 affinity, any mana taken was not put towards the Daily Mana Cap
Tier 2 Level 4 10,000 Sprite Swarm: Attacks with a wave of sprites.

Cooldown: 10 minutes.
Verb: Raise
(The Unlocked Abilities part of the analyze calls this ability "Sprite Swarm," but the General Information shows unlocking "Sprite Power." Probably a mistake.)

Level 5 25,000
Level 6 40,000 Sprite Power: Calls upon sprite swarms instead of your standard sprite flare for 60 seconds.

This can only happen once every 10 seconds during that time.
Cooldown: 120 minutes.
Verb: Pull
(The Unlocked Abilities part of the analyze calls this ability Sprite Power, but the General Information already showed Sprite Power unlocked from affinity 4, and Sprite Swarm still shows as locked.)

Tier 3 Level 7 60,000
Level 8 80,000
Level 9 100,000

Sprite Flares

All sprite weapons come with sprite flares, based on the crush critical table. These flares take up the script slot but leave the standard flare slot open, allowing for further upgrades or Consecrate (1604) flares.
