Wraiths are malevolent, dangerous magical beings, that of which can take many different appearances. They are distantly related to Phantoms, and more related to Sprites. Wraiths take the form of one's trauma, guilt, and fears, rummaging through the minds of their victims and creating their appearances based off of memory. They may be based on a roc, or a serpent, the appearance of a loved one, or reek of death and disease. However, they never appear quite right, with something outright wrong or just slightly off. Wraiths can range from a harmless bug to a violent, irresistible vortex of fear, depending on how old and powerful they are. Typically, they hide themselves, and only appear to those whose minds they've infested- whether it be glimpses in a crowd, or a never-ending torment where they are constantly followed and loomed over.  

Sometimes they aren't visible to their victims, typically this is because they are small and weak, or are being strategic about their meddling. Weaker Wraiths often target kittens and apprentices with fears such as spiders, the dark, and heights. Wraiths wear down the strength and willpower of their victims by amplifying and providing negative thinking, attempting to get those they target to either give up to them or lure them out to their sure demise, so that they may absorb their life force. Stronger Wraiths are capable of slightly touching and moving their victims, and may lure them to places such as the deep sea to kill them on their own.
