Little can be said about the flying book that is not readily apparent.

The dancing, twisting flickerwisp is a less powerful but no less malevolent type of will-o’-wisp. Like their more dangerous kin, flickerwisps prefer to haunt lonely swamps or stretches of lonely rivers or creeks, particularly near the shorelines where they can pass themselves off as nothing more than a small gathering of fireflies.
