Will-o-the-wisps

[killty]

How the hell do you defeat these things. My sword has no effect on them. Can't pick locks well enuff to get the glow dust from the mage guild basement, and i doubt i have the majicka to flare them to death.

[Siberys]

Buy a silver weapon, any kind will do even if it's not in the category of your major skills. Silver is what affects ethereal creatures (such as Will-o-wisps, and ghosts/wraiths).

[Sparrow]

Or a weapon that has any sort of enchantment on it.

[Arok2092]

Any silver, daedric (i think), or enchanted weapon will work even if it has no charge left. Also any spells will work and the Blade of Woe is as far as I know the only non-enchanted, non silver or daedric weapon that still hurts ghost-like creatures. (Last resort weapon at best)
