Sparkle
Like most fire elementals, Sparkle has an insatiable appetite. He travelled extensively in his youth, and has fond memories of London due to his participation in the Pudding Lane buffet of 1666.
-Epitaph
This careless fire elemental became trapped in a dead campfire.
-Beta Epitaph
Sparkle is a Fire Elemental encountered in The Blair Wisp Project, bound to a campfire in the middle of a large open field at the bottom right section of the map.
Appearance
Sparkle is a small salamander-like creature with skin, small nose and amber eyes with vertical pupils. They have a segmented light yellow stomach which carries all the way down it's tail. Sparkle has two small arms with four digits on its hands as well as two legs with three digits on its feet. Sparkle has a small, red forked tongue as well as skin flaps around it's neck which they unfold when casting powers.
How To Free
Sparkle can be freed by lighting the campfire it is bound to. This can be done in several ways. The easiest way is by binding Arclight to a nearby corpse and having him cast Bonfire. This will engulf the nearby area in flames and light the fire. Alternatively, Firetail can be used to the same effect as the three film students are walking electrical fetters thanks to their flashlights which Firetail can be bound to. Using Bonfire when they get near the campfire will achieve the same result as Arclight. If neither of these options are available, making the area extreamly cold will cause the film students to light the campfire themselves. Using powers such as Bitter Cold, Ice Breath or Frostbite (if Windwalker is available) will cause the area to freeze over. Be careful as this will also freeze the lake over and will give the film students passage to the next part of the level. Once the campfire is lit, Sparkle will become free.

| "Well met, stranger, if thou can hear me… I am known as Sparkle, a spirit of flame. This campfire was to be but a brief dalliance, but as soft confection roasted above me I fell into restful sleep. When I awoke - the fire had burned down to naught! I implore thee, re-ignite it that I may leave. Your kindness would be repaid." | |

Trivia
- Sparkle's epitaph mentions Pudding Lane which is a street where the Great Fire of London started in 1666.
- Due to an error, both Sparkle's and Firetail's eyes are transparent and smaller in game then they should be.
- Sparkle would have originally appeared in Riding the Ghost Train before that scenario was cut.
