As of now, there are three distinct types of Sprites identified within the game. However, players can only capture two: the Air Sprite and the Water Sprite. Below is a summary of each type and its capabilities:

Air Sprite: Initiates updrafts that allow players to glide and can cause structural damage. When placed in a Sprite Shrine, it unlocks the Wind Boon, which boosts movement speed during mining tasks.
Water Sprite: When thrown, it conjures a fountain that provides healing and shields for nearby players. If offered at a Sprite Shrine, it rewards you with a Water Boon, enhancing health regeneration for allies swimming close to the shrine.
Earth Sprite: Players can offer items to this sprite in exchange for valuable rewards.

After capturing a Sprite, you are allowed to utilize it up to three times. Alternatively, you can return it to the Sprite Shrine, where it will grant you a permanent Boon. Just be cautious not to waste these chances by accidentally dropping the Sprites as I once did!
