- | A Wraith is the spirit of a person who has made an evil bargain to persist after natural death or has been forced involuntarily into its current undead state. This transformation frees them of the limits of a natural lifespan and grants them immunity to [[:diseases]], [[attack_types:poison]], and loss of lifeforce. Wraiths also need to have little fear of [[attack_types:cold]], and they can [[characters:special:can_see_in_dark|see well in the dark]]. A Wraith's corporeal form has terrible vulnerabilities: [[attack_types:fire]] and most [[attack_types:god_power|god power]] are dangerous to Wraiths. Their tenuous form makes them quick and somewhat hard to hit, but also weaker and less hardy. | + | A Wraith is the spirit of a person who has made an evil bargain to persist after natural death or has been forced involuntarily into its current undead state.

- | Wraiths have a strong affinity to magic, especially cold spells, and are very strong spellcasters. However, they cannot use fire spells for fear of self-destruction. Players wishing to use fire spells later in the game may prefer to select another race such as an elf or human, and become a follower of [[gods:devourers|Devourers]], if they can live without the race-specific perks. | + | Wraiths have a strong affinity to magic, especially cold spells, and are very strong spell casters.

Wraiths also do not heal naturally or gain sustenance from food. Instead, they have to feed off the living using [[skills:wraith_feed|Wraith Feed]]. | Wraiths also do not heal naturally or gain sustenance from food.
