**Description**: The Mourner Wisp is a spectral figure formed from the sorrowful spirits of those who paid tribute to the late PM, embodying the grief and hope of the masses. Its translucent body glimmers faintly with a ghostly light, and it hovers silently, radiating an aura of melancholy. Tactically, it prefers to manipulate the battlefield through fear and confusion, targeting the most emotionally vulnerable parties while draining the life from its foes. In combat, it seeks to incapacitate its enemies, creating an atmosphere of despair reminiscent of the mournful gatherings it emerged from. Its demeanor is unsettling yet sorrowful, as it carries the weight of unresolved grievances.
