well i've seen this twice.. once in a swamp and once in the back hills of arkansas.
i must tell you that was the most frightning moment ive ever had.. well the swamp one that is.. see we play dungeons and dragons here. will o' wisp is a creature that varies in color. is made of energy.. i.e. similar to what ball lightning is like and is very very evil..
now imagine my shock at seeing this late at night shroom hunting (no real cooking mushrooms lol) and seeing this with your two friends that play with you..
i was reminded of an old d&d saying
cleric: do you think we can out run it?
thief: out run it all i have to do is out run the dwarf
although the one experience i have had was a moment of sheer awesomness.. you know those whirlwinds that float around the yard picking up leaves and such then die off.. i found one in the back yard when i was around 17. i flew out and stood in the center.. and to my shock it stopped moving.. to this day i can still remember the positive feeling that rushed through my body. was depressed for two days after it was over..
on a side note.. i read before that an elderly couple was sitting on thier porch on night when a ball lightning came a callin.. the (cant remember which now) person swated it with a fly swatter and it exploded in a bang.. didnt hurt either though. weird

It means only one thing, and everything: Cut. Once committed to fight, Cut. Everything else is secondary. Cut. That is your duty, your purpose, your hunger. There is no rule more important, no commitment that overrides that one. Cut. The lines are a portrayal of the dance. Cut from the void, not from bewilderment. Cut the enemy as quickly and directly as possible. Cut with certainty. Cut decisively, resoultely. Cut into his strength. Flow through the gaps in his guard. Cut him. Cut him down utterly. Don't allow him a breath. Crush him. Cut him without mercy to the depth of his spirit. It is the balance to life: death. It is the dance with death. It is the law a war wizard lives by, or he dies.
