Wisp Lanterns & Lanternberries The entire wisp lantern plant is edible, but all components, save the lanternberry itself, have a distinctly acrid taste no matter how cooked, and people are known to break out in hives when consuming them. Given that, eating and cooking wisp lanterns is rarely undertaken.

The raw lanternberry is extremely sour but drying them under the right conditions develops their inherent sugars; one can cook with raw lanternberries, but it requires extra sugar and other ingredients to counterbalance the strength of its natural flavor. Dried lanternberries have a pleasantly sweet-sour berry taste with unusual hints of cinnamon-spiked citrus. Properly prepared dried lanternberries are popular in tisanes, especially amongst the wisp-seers who frequently drink it while performing their divinations.

Wisp lanterns smell slightly musty, albeit in a surprisingly pleasant moss-like manner that is reminiscent of a damp and dark forest floor. The scent combines well with stronger florals and coveted for use in perfumes, incense, and candles.

Introduced in Naidem at the end of the Ebon Gate Festival as the Harvest Luminary Festival was opened. The festival grounds have them all over, though you must forage for them.

Analyze

You analyze the alabaster wisp lantern and sense that the creator has provided the following information:

This wisp lantern is quite alive!  Try RAISE, TOUCH, or WAVE to make it work its magic.

This item is not alterable in any way.

You get no sense of whether or not the lantern may be further lightened.

Usage - When in Naidem

Verb First Third
RAISE As you raise the alabaster wisp lantern stalk overhead, it sheds a nimbus of soft luminescence about you. As Firstperson raises the alabaster wisp lantern stalk overhead, it sheds a nimbus of soft luminescence about him.
TOUCH As you run a fingertip along one of the ribs of the alabaster wisp lantern, a few sparks of color fall from its nodding head, and the tip of your finger glows momentarily with a sheen of bioluminescent transfer. As Firstperson runs his fingertip along one of the ribs of the alabaster wisp lantern blossom, a few sparks of color fall from its nodding head, and the tip of his finger glows momentarily with a sheen of bioluminescent transfer.
WAVE Lofting the alabaster wisp lantern high overhead, you give it a gentle wave through the air. The petals of the lantern-shaped blossom fan open in response, revealing a heart of wispy radiance that leaves trails of color in the air. Tiny sparks flit this way and that, twirling away and dimming quickly to darkness before the petals fold in over the wisp once more.
