# Wisps and Fantoms

### Wisps are biological children

One completed Attic room creates two sibling Wisps from one Alpha and one Omega.

Each Wisp:

* Records both parent token IDs.
* Inherits recorded anatomy and surface traits from both founders.
* Has its own finalized combination, genome hash, image hash, art revision, and QA status.
* Provides one monthly Premium entitlement when consumed.
* May be held, sold, consumed, or selected as one of ten convergence contributors.

A Wisp cannot enter the Alpha/Omega Attic or create more Wisps by itself.

### Ten-Wisp genetic convergence

A Fantom is created by converging and burning **ten specific unconsumed Wisps**.

    G --> B["Burn all 10 Wisps"]
    B --> F["Create 1 traceable Fantom"]
    F --> Y["Hold, sell, or consume for Yearly Premium"]
```

The Fantom genome permanently records all ten contributor IDs. Its six visible anatomy traits are evolved combinations derived from the contributor family—not ten characters pasted together. Surface material, palette, and pattern are evolved under the same recorded rules.

![Ten Wisps to Fantom convergence concept board](https://2967616251-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FddBOVhbaqnumKRjrSHa3%2Fuploads%2FahTRkn7mu8QZc6HeMnZq%2Ften-wisps-to-fantom-convergence.jpg?alt=media)

*Concept art: ten recorded Wisps converge into one coherent tenfold descendant. Final production art will use the approved deterministic layered/vector pipeline.*

### Yearly utility

A Fantom maps to the current **$49 yearly Premium** tier. It does **not** provide Lifetime Premium.

At current prices:

* Ten monthly plans: 10 × $4.99 = $49.90.
* One yearly plan: $49.

The ten-Wisp convergence therefore maps the genetic mechanic to the ordinary yearly product tier without creating a new Lifetime entitlement.

### Hold, list, or supply the Access Auction

An eligible Wisp or Fantom remains transferable until it is consumed, burned, locked, or committed to another action.

* A Wisp owner may hold it, list it on the marketplace, compete to supply a monthly subscription, contribute it to a ten-Wisp yearly route, converge it, or consume it for Monthly Premium.
* A Fantom owner may hold it, list it on the marketplace, compete to supply a yearly subscription, participate in future proposed reproduction, or consume it for Yearly Premium.
* Once purchased through the Access Auction, the winning character is consumed for the matching subscription and permanently leaves active circulation.

Holding therefore preserves both character utility and future market optionality. It does not guarantee that an offer will be selected or sold.

### Convergence controls

* The exact ten contributor IDs must be displayed before confirmation.
* All ten Wisps must be eligible, unconsumed, and controlled by the approving wallet or approved multi-owner flow.
* The Fantom genome commitment must be finalized before irreversible burning.
* A failed genome finalization or render must not strand or destroy contributors.
* After successful creation, the ten burned Wisp IDs remain permanently queryable from the Fantom lineage.
* The proposed Season 1 limit remains no more than five new Fantoms in each 30-day period.
* Any additional convergence fee remains a launch parameter and must be announced before activation.

### Proposed Fantom reproduction

A Fantom may eventually create a Wisp through a separate, slower, capped mechanism. That mechanism is not active and is excluded from current supply calculations.

> Fantom reproduction is a proposed slow-cycle Wisp creation mechanism. Final eligibility, cooldown, fees and seasonal limits will be announced before activation.

The design decisions still open are:

* Fantom + Fantom pairing or a single Fantom.
* Recommended cooldown of approximately 180 days.
* Recommended output of one Wisp total.
* Maximum cycles per Fantom.
* Global seasonal output cap.
* Creation fee.
* How a new Wisp inherits from its Fantom parent or parents.

Until those rules are finalized and audited, a Fantom cannot produce a Wisp. A Fantom can never become an Alpha or Omega, and any future reproduction operates outside the founder Attic.

### Supply controls

* Fifty Attic rooms create two Wisps every 60 days.
* At full utilization, average Attic capacity is approximately 50 Wisps per month or 600 per year.
* Creating a Fantom removes ten Wisps from circulation.
* Consuming a Wisp or Fantom permanently removes it.
* Lifetime Premium remains limited to the fixed original Alpha/Omega supply.
* Fantom reproductive output remains zero until a separate capped mechanism is published and activated.

### Wisp creation fees

The proposed Attic Wisp creation fee equals 50% of the normal monthly price. At $4.99 per month, this is approximately $2.50 per Wisp after payment rounding. Each Wisp recipient pays one fee. If one wallet owns both founders, it pays two fees and receives both Wisps.

Fees should be displayed before room acceptance and updated only between announced seasons, not during an active 60-day session.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://cifer.gitbook.io/cifer-docs/ghost-economy/wisps-and-fantoms.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
