Wraith

Little is known about **Wraiths** other than their power and despair. These creatures are a type of Scottish ghost that had a history in black magic and sorcery during its lifetime.

## Capabilities

Wraiths are incorporeal evil spirits from the Shadow Realm - distinct from demons - that drains the life energy of mortals in order to sustain their existence and may be able to steal souls as well. Typically wraiths appear as shadowy forms wrapped in robes or cloaks, or simply vague shadows, but this isn't always the case.

## Common powers

**Afterlife Border:** Wraiths can control the movement over the border between life and death, allowing the living to communicate over it, taking them to the other side from where they are, or prevent the movement to either direction, effectively either dooming the target to never die on or making their death irreversible.

**Fear Inducement:** Wraiths can evoke and increase fear and horror in others causing the target’s brain to release fear-inducing chemicals.

**Ghost Mode:** Wraiths can enter a mode or form made for incursion, evasion and infiltration by becoming invisible and intangible.

**Intangibility:** Wraiths can move through solid objects and ignore most physical effects in their way; the exact means of how this is done vary between slipping partially into other dimensions, being able to make their particles move between different particles, being a non-physical being of energy, vibrating their molecules into a new quantum frequency, etc. Regardless the user can ignore most attacks, physical dangers, and gravity.

**Invisibility:** Wraiths can render themselves unseen by the naked eye and become invisible in visible spectrum.

**Life-Force Absorption:** Wraiths can absorb life-force, vitality and health, while removing it from the source, into their body and use it in various ways, gaining some form of advantage, either by enhancing themselves, gaining the drained power, using it as power source etc; either temporarily or permanently.

**Non-Physical Interaction:** Wraiths can both perceive and interact with non-corporeal, conceptual, nonexistent and nothingness life-forms and entities, allowing them to make physical contact or maybe even harm non-corporeal beings.

**Possession:** Wraiths can inhabit or take over the body of other beings, whether sentient or not, by stealing their motor functions and senses.

**Regenerative Healing Factor:** Wraiths possess a regenerative healing factor, meaning that they can rapidly heal and get restored to their optimal and full health at an extremely fast rate.

**Soul Absorption:** Wraiths can absorb souls, while removing them from the source, into their body and use it in various ways, gaining some form of advantage, either by enhancing themselves, gaining the drained power, using it as a power source, etc., either temporarily or permanently.

**Soullessness:** Wraiths possess no soul or spiritual tether to the world, essentially making the user emotionless and immortal, as a person needs a soul to have a degree of mortality in the first place.

**Psionics:** Wraiths can use various forms of psychic abilities, including psychokinesis, telepathy, teleportation, precognition, etc.
