What's the point then?
Room description as in "Elryn Greythane is here. He wields a nice viola."

Oh right. Makes sense now.

Would be fun if a willowisp attracted all scries/scents/scans to its location instead of the wiccan. I think that might be too hard to implement though.
The wisp might even have the same room description as the wiccan, if not the same examined. I just like the idea of a willowisp drawing enemies to the wrong place, tricksy little things that they are.

Cool idea. I think this is my favorite of the ones I've heard. (Standard "doesn't matter what I think" disclaimers apply. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if GwylifarOpinions is right for you.)

That would be fun, but horrifyingly overpowered. It'd basically amount to a Veil of the Sphinx, which Estarra said would never be added in Lusternia.

It wouldn't necessarily have to work for ALL forms of scrying. The artifact thingy could still work through it, and -maybe- scent? (Since smell doesn't really seem something the wisp would do, and cities don't have scent.)

Have the wisp randomly mislead the target.
WISP MISLEAD YRAEL. I try to move a room, there is a 25% chance that I move a different direction than the one I intended to. Can be done anywhere within the local area.

I love the idea of the wisp being a misleading type effect, but I have to agree with Shamarah. Perhaps make the effect inconsistent? Though Estarra has said no to the Veil outright, a similar but much weaker effect might be considered.
80% of the time, it works as intendend.
10% of the time, scry (and other locators) finds the real person.
10% of the time, scry (and other locators) recieves an image of a taunting willowisp (thus betraying its presence).
And to make it a bit more strategic, allow it to be placed on others, with a slightly lesser likelihood of working. Say... 60/25/15?
And keep certain locators immune to the effect, such as scent or other local-area abilities.

Anyone who gazes into a room with a willowisp from afar (squint, glance, etc) has a 50% chance to be blinded. This would work off your enemy list.
People who "look" in a room with a hostile willowisp will have a 25% chance to gain dizzy, a 25% chance to gain amnesia, a 25% chance to be knocked off equilibrium for 0.5 seconds, or a 25% chance of nothing to happen other than noticing the willowisp is there.

Just out of curiousity, with this idea... would it fire on the look that occurs when moving into a room? I'm not sure Wiccans need more movement hindering abilities, if so. It also seems a little unnecessary to penalize something as fundamental as finding out whats in your room.

Actually Narsrim just sent me an idea that I really liked and put in the report, hopefully it will go in. Thanks Nars!

And thus was the seal broken...
This actually sounds like an interesting idea. All of the afflictions are interesting and useful, but don't provide too much synergy with other wiccan abilities. I definitely would NOT want blindness to hit on looking - that would be annoying as hell in group fights when trying to pick a target.
The only problem I can see with this - would these stack in group fights? Having 5-6 MDs in a room means you could end up with multiple afflictions off of one look, which seems like too much. Amnesia+dizzy+off-eq in a group fight means you're in trouble. Also, scrying could be almost a guaranteed blind if you scry anyone standing at Mother.
