Just out of curiousity, do we know for certain that the Wisps aren't in Serpent
Isle? The reason I ask is because the general consensus seems to be that
Wisps appeared in U6, U7, and the two UU games. Only a handful of people
seem to know about their appearence in Savage Empire and Martian Dreams.
Maybe no one's looking in the right place?

Re: Wisps in SI
I think there's very little left in the Ultima7/SI games that hasn't been uncovered yet. The dialogue has been analyzed down to its bare bones and all possible sprites have been found.
A pity, because finding new stuff was what MADE the games.

Wisp's aren't in SI, the closest thing are...fire elementals?
I really loved those guys.

Re: Wisps in SI
there are wisps in the Kotl city of Savage empire. I haven´t seen Wisps in Martian Dreams. About Serpent Isle, there is a portrait of a Wisp in the Faces.VGA, there is also 3 new portraits of the Shade Blade with diferent color gems (the banes of chaos I think)
Re: Wisps in SI
I guess it was just wisp-ful thinking, then.

Okay:
SE: At one point you have to board turtles to get to the island where your girlfriend
is being held captive. You stop midway between on a small narrow strip of land. Make sure that you get to this place AT NIGHT. Go as far north as you can. You should run into at least one wisp. You can also run into them at the Kotl city later in the game, though I'm not sure exactly where.
MD: I have never gotten far into this game, but from what I've heard, they tend to
hang out around near the poles. But can you even get to these? And besides, considering the way the map is laid out, wouldn't the north and south pole be the same?
Suppsedly the encounter with the Wisps in MD is one of the funniest moments in
Ultima history; pity I can't seem to find them.

Re: Wisps in SI
I have confirmed that the wisps are in MD, though the only one I can find (teleport
to NPC 1d) is in the Death Room. Does anyone know exactly how I get that soil
sample for him?

Wisps... they're great for harvesting lumber without actually cutting down any trees... 
Oh wait... wrong game...

Wisps in WarCraft III...
They are cute, too.
Heh... I like wisps of Ultima VI.
They are... really mysterious.

Re: Wisps in SI
Well, that was a surprise... there indeed is a wisp on Mars!
I dug up some dirt in Elysium and shoveled it into a martian wheelbarrow (it wouldn't go into a bucket and you can't just pick it up), then pushed the wheelbarrow on a barge and travelled to the canal corner at Terra Meridiani, then pushed the wheelbarrow north the rest of the way... and the wisp still wouldn't acknowledge its presence, after all the work I'd done. :p
Since the wisp also mentioned books, I gathered all the Martian literature I could find and took that to it just in case it'd work, but still to no avail.
Other ideas?

Re: Wisps in SI
I want to know if there is any information I can give to the Wisp at Savage Empire
the one of Ultima 6 wants the Book of lost mantras
Md wants the dirt coin
UW2 wants information about bishop
U7: wants alagners notebook
I don´t know if UW1 wants something...
