Reduce Will o Wisp HP

Will o Wisps currently have a huge amount of HP for their lifespan. Even with high damage classes, it is tough to get through the 800+ HP that a high level one has in the short time it takes to reach you. To make attacking them a legitimate strategy for dealing with them, I think that their HP should be reduced by about 75%.

I agree, when I first came upon them I thought it would be a oneshot like shadows, but I was wrong.

I dunno, this all seems consistent with ToME's ghosts having tons of HP.
Seriously, I also thought that the Wisps would die in one, two hits tops.

The first one of these I encountered, in an adventurer fight, it appeared to kamikaze by detonating when it got next to me, which I thought made it kinda cool (as in, you see one and either put up shields to withstand the blast, or move your butt out of the way and let it blast the other guys when its time ran out)... Finding out later that it didn't always do this was kind of a disappointment, there aren't many (any?) other I'm-going-down-but-taking-you-with-me enemies in the game so I think it could be a nice feature
Maybe even with a decent (30%+) Daze chance on explosive death too, to make it at least mildly threatening to even a shielded adversary.
I've only encountered 2 or 3 so far though, so I may not have a good grasp on just how they 'work' yet.
