Wraith

Overview
"“Wraiths, or commonly named Shadowmen, Dark Walkers, Death Knights or Necrolytes in the Dark Omnibus, are the product of high-tier Necromancers. It is not something a Necromancer can make, but turn into -- much like a mage can become a Lich, they sell their mortality away to attain invulnerability and higher magical prowess. However, a Wraith is not exactly focused on the advancement of one’s magical capabilities and there are other advantages that follow a Necromancer’s turn into a Wraith in-hand with the mass of weaknesses.”"They’re basically products of necromancers much akin to a lich, which focus on spectral binding instead of the more mortal way of binding to a body.

Habitat
Anywhere.

ET Notes
Wraiths are creatures already played on the server by players, but may also be acted out by ET. Due to their oh so spooky nature, wraiths serve as excellent late bosses in event-lines, or orchestrating event characters for undead raids and the like. Like all undead and necrolytes, gold hurts them; unlike all necrolytes, they are sentient.

Wraiths are often found singularly, orchestrating hoards of undead or a few liches, which in turn command their own droves of undead. These are the big bosses, and may be found in covens (Up to 10 as an absolute max for world events). Wraiths have complete control over necromancy, and due to their sentience may also know up to 4 other (1 master, 2 adequate, 1 not so good) magics, be it voidial or otherwise.

Wraiths, as it stand, are creatures of lifeforce, mist, and general ethereal fuckery. They carry no loot on them but the robes on their back, often tattered at that. Due to the fact Wraiths live so long, they do have the possibility to gather a hoard of what ever item the wraith is interested in, sometimes entire homesteads if things go the right way.

An example encounter with a wraith begins outside a prominent city which has been battling necromancers for some time. After a loss on part of the city's, a massive wave of undead, rotters, liches, ghouls, and general zombies charging forth to seige the walls, all of which conducted by a wraith standing in the background.
