Usage

When a dried ghast is soaked in water, it gets hydrated and green particles appear. It then slowly becomes more and more "happy" as it gradually develops a smiley face and becomes more saturated in color. After a certain amount of time it transforms into a ghastling, which will eventually turn into a happy ghast.
