Maxis EE Problem: How to re-activate the wisp after once?

[DragonGJY]

The problem is:

-----------------------------

I DID NOT place the time bomb.

I made the wisp appear and successfully escort the wisp to the bulb, and the bulb was lit up.

And the signs i punched remained having orbs on them.

And I'm not able to re-activate the wisp, punching the signs made no sense.

I've tried many other ways too, like punching them in incorrect order, place time bomb and immediately activate it etc.

I know I should have the time bomb to prevent this from happening

But I just want to find the answer in case i messed up again.

There is no answer. You have to place a Time Bomb preemptively.

Alright, It sucks that players would be stuck by a mistake and not able to make it right in the same game. Thanks for the help anyway.
