|adesc2=The wraith targets a {{srd5lc|Humanoid}} within 10 feet of it that has been dead for no longer than 1 {{srd5lc|Minute}} and died violently. The target’s spirit rises as a {{srd5lc|Specter}} in the space of its corpse or in the nearest unoccupied space. The specter is under the wraith’s control. The wraith can have no more than seven specters under its control at one time.

'''Unofficial Description:''' A wraith appears as an wispy, shadowy, spectre of a humanoid.

{{otherlore|Wraiths are incorporeal creatures born of evil and darkness. In some cases, the grim silhouette of a wraith might appear armored or outfitted with weapons. This appearance does not affect the creature’s AC or combat abilities but only reflects the shape it had in life.

A wraith is about as tall as a human, while a dread wraith is roughly the size of an ogre. Since both are incorporeal, they are weightless.|{{SRD3ref}}|3.5e lore}}
