Wraith

**Wraiths** (幽霊) are the spirits that belonged to the souls of deceased sapient species, who for various reasons rejected to move on to the afterlife.

They are in essence corrupt spirits with supernatural powers and monstrous appearances that mimics the reasons why they reject moving on.

## Overview

Wraiths are those who by having a strong will to deny the laws of the supernatural world, which in turn makes them into a creature of the supernatural. Their souls will be converted into a spirit, which will then (depending on the will they have) make them a metaphysical or a physical wraith.

## Appearances

The appearances of wraiths depends on the person themselves inflicted with the change. The changes aren't always the same and most wraiths are unique amongst each other.

The design of a wraith depends on how they die and what made them refuse to move on, which could be a family member, unfinished business, revenge or not wanting to die. But the stronger their spiritual will, the more dangerous the wraith will turn out to be.

### Mask

All wraiths tends to have something in common, which is the fact their 'faces' are actually masks. The masks also takes the shape of what affected them in life. While having strange elements of design positioned on them.

### Wraiths types

There are two types of wraiths that are discovered so far within the Yggdriarch: Sprout Novel. Which are Pure Wraiths and Incomplete Wraiths.

**Pure Wraith**: These are the common and normal wraiths, the ones that are created from the souls of the deceased upon rejecting their passage to the afterlife. Although, pure wraiths are categorized into two subtypes. Notable pure wraiths are Shalzaiee, Scessierette and Ravanti.

**Impure Wraith**: Also called 'Incomplete Wraiths' are the souls of those who are alive. But, they were corrupted by a pure wraith or another impure one. This type aren't fully transformed into a monstrous figure, rather they retain some of their sapient features to indicate that they aren't far gone. These types are generally weaker than pure wraiths. Notable impures are Gibbi.

## Abilities

Wraiths have a multitude of combat skills and abilities, most of which are usually unique to specific wraiths. The more dangerous a wraith is, depends on how strong their will is in defying the afterlife after dying. The stronger the will, the more powerful they would be. The abilities a wraith will develop mirrors what was driving their will, and death. The more powerful wraiths, however, have access to a range similar techniques of greater power or use than their own unique skills.

**Soul Extraction:** Intelligent wraiths have the ability to forcibly extract a soul from a living body once it is weakened. Animalistic wraiths cannot do this, unless they're gifted with the ability or taught it by an intelligent one.

**Wraith Corruption:** Wraiths can corrupt the souls of living beings into becoming impure wraiths. This is done by having their limbs or wraith energy be placed within the soul center of the soul, stagnating it.

**Arcane:** Wraiths are capable of using arcanecraft casts if they are taught or have already had such energies in their previous life.

**Spectrum Travel**: Only powerful Wraiths can tear open the dimensional fabric separating the spectrums of material world and the afterlife, revealing a tunnel of whirling, torrential energy which must be focused and solidified to create a discernible pathway.

## Weaknesses

Arcane abilities is shown affecting wraiths, with it even deterring and slow them down.

Their masks are the objects allowing them to be in the material world, for they are spirits. If these masks are damaged, their powers wont work properly.
