====== Wraiths ======
{{:images:wraithp.base.151.png }}
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: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.

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