Wraith

**Wraiths** or **Demons** are malevolent spiritual entities created from corrupted human souls after extensive torture in The In-Between, wraiths they become corrupted and extremely evil, and also very powerful.

## History

Wraiths are humans who were condemned to The In-Between. Their souls were corrupted and warped after spending hundreds of years in Hell being tortured and having all of their humanity and feelings burnt out of them. They are left as large black clouds with dark energy that generate electromagnetic interference. Thousands of years ago they battled the Original witch Gaia and the Primordials. Gaia was able to seal them away behind the In-Between by using a powerful form of magic known as Light.

## Appearence

In their natural form they look like black clouds or black spirit creatures.
