Wraith

A wraith is a hostile spirit. They are an aggressive variety of ominous spirit with violent traits. Wraiths have a dark, umbral appearance, most often looking like writhing black cloth. They seek to grab and hold victims, which they can do rather easily, and then drain the life from them. Their touch is ennervating and sedating. As their energy is drained slowly, a victim experiences intense horror and mental images of terrible possibilites. The touch of a wraith is not otherwise painful, as the influence or touch of other spirits can be. The full life of a sapient being cannot be drained from it until their aura breaks. Thus a victim lives in a miserable state of fragile life, until they succumb to the torment of the wraith. It is then their body begins to waste away. Alternatively, the wraith may possess a broken victim instead of draining it or them of life.

When elves experience gwanu, their spirits can become wraithlike ghosts. Other kins can be subjected to a similar process through twisted magic.
