Help me to finish this boss spell

Hello.
I've been struggling last few days to finish this passive boss
spell for chapter 4 Elite Boss(the tree).
Idea:
- Wisps start to spin around the boss
- After X wisps something happens
Now:
- How does the wisp come?
- What happens after X wisps is gathered?
- How to make this boss spell tactical?

How does the wisp come?
Eh? If it's passive then it would be from nothingness, no cast
or some kind of ritual, it would just appear. Oh, maybe some
kind of special effect, some light(green light...) or some
vines?
What happens after X wisps is gathered?
Hum...they would come for Phodom's life? Or maybe they would
sacrifice themselves to heal(and maybe buff) the boss? A
super-duper-hyper spell?
How to make this boss spell tactical?
Seriously, i can't understand what tactical means...but my
suggestion would be that the wisps would have to be destroyed to
avoid more problems(like, duh?) so they should spin kind of fast
to avoid phodom's attack the most. Oh, and maybe it should have
some kind of penalty when you kill a wisp? Some kind of
explosion that damages(but not that much) phodom or a debuff...
Seriously i don't know what tactical means, but, oh well, i have
made my suggestions.

Yes I was thinking too something like after X wisps it heals the
boss. But I was wondering how to prevent more wisps to come or
how to vanquish the current ones. I think killing them is a bit
plain. Any other ideas?

X pillars or something similar (3 to 5 ones) will come out when
the boss starts to create wisps, you need to destroy them to
stop the creation.

Obelisks doesn't fit with the theme of chapter 4 elite boss.
Theme is something like nature / green / leafs.

- How does the wisp come?
Maybe have little whelps that fly around the boss at random
intervals. The whelps can attack you. Once you kill a whelp, a
wisp spawn and moves slowly towards the boss.
- What happens after X wisps is gathered?
A giant dragon appears in the boss place and attacks you for a
while before disappearing. Boss appears again and the cycle
continues
- How to make this boss spell tactical?
Make it such that when two wisps are in close proximity, they
come closer together and disappear in an explosion. So the
player may wait for a few whelps to spawn before killing them at
one go. Give some delay before the wisps explode so the player
can set up protective measures.

robotworld: Your whole theory is just wrong :P.
Firstly, it doesn't make sense to me, but that's a personal
opinion and it's not the main problem
Secondly...Dragons? Are you crazy? Well, maybe it could work if
you don't use the dragons...
Aero: well, i said pillars as a example, you could put some tree
like monsters that can't move, like that "tree like " night elf
tower sprite, or maybe some kind of "great wisps".... I think
many things would work("pillars,obelisks and temple like" things
too in my opinion), but portals are in my opinion already used a
lot so you should try to avoid them if possible.

Well how about that when the wisps appear, they start to move
slowly toward' the boss, and to get rid of them you have to dish
as much damage to the boss as possible, which then damages the
wisps?
Otherwise they heal or etc.

My bad. Yes you are right, my theory is indeed very wrong. I
misread the post. Thought I saw epic boss :(
Here's my revised version
- How does the wisp come?
The boss will summon some forest critters or treants which
attack you. Killing them will turn them into wisps. The wisps
then move slowly towards the tree boss.
- What happens after X wisps is gathered?
The boss will have increased movement speed/attack for every
wisp that reaches the boss. The effect stacks and lasts for 2-3
minutes per wisp.
- How to make this boss spell tactical?
Make it such that when two wisps are in close proximity, they
come closer together and disappear in an explosion. So the
player may wait for a few whelps to spawn before killing them at
one go. Give some delay before the wisps explode so the player
can set up protective measures.
