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:holyword|holy word]] 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.
