When this spell is cast, the illusionist and all of his or her gear become insubstantial.

The caster can be hit only by magic weapons of +1 or better, or by creatures otherwise able to affect those struck only by magic weapons.

Undead of most sorts will ignore an individual in wraithform, believing him or her to be a wraith or spectre, though a lich or "special" undead may save versus Spell at -4 to recognize the dweomer.

The illusionist will be able to pass through small holes or narrow openings, even mere cracks, with all he or she wears or holds in his or her hands, as long as the spell persists.

No form of attack is possible when in wraithform, except against creatures which exist on the Ethereal Plane, where all attacks (both ways) are normal.

Dispel illusion and dispel magic are the only ways to force an illusionist in wraithform back to normal form. The spell caster can return to normal form at will, but this ends the spell effect.

The material components for this spell are a bit of gauze and a wisp of smoke.

Campaign Rule. The caster is considered to be semi-material, like a ghost in semi-material form—one half of their form on the Ethereal plane and one half present on the Prime. The form is as easy to see as the illusionist, but radiates no heat. The form ambulates as the caster does. Any magical effects on the caster that are not "Area of Effect. The caster (or illusionist)" END when taking the wraithform—due to the extraplanar nature of this magic*. The caster cannot interact with anything on the Prime plane while in wraithform. Likewise, while semi-material, the caster cannot interact with objects or creatures (or indeed themselves, unable to cast, use abilities or items) on the Ethereal plane. If the caster is subject to attack by an Ethereal opponent, this danger allows them to assume full Ethereal form and counter attack as described above (this happens immediately upon recognizing the threat and ends immediately when the combat/threat ends). While the caster moves at normal speed while in wraithform, passing through small openings takes one full round.* The GM will adjudicate edge cases for spells such as permanency or the like (ie. a permanency used to make a personal spell permanent won't be ended).
