Wraith

Wraiths are spirits who have refused to move on, instead they stay and walk upon the lands of Amestria. Over time they may grow to envy the living, and over time this envy may turn to anger even hate. They can take on a form similar to a living entity, but these forms are nothing more then particles harvested by the spirit into a form of their choice. These souls who decide to take vengeance on the living are known as wraiths, having the ability to reap the souls of the living to keep their fury alive. At first they retain the intelligence and memories they once had when they were alive, but if they are consumed by excessive rage they may become nothing more then mindless servants of evil. Many wraiths that lived lawfully during life may retain that lawfulness and exist by a code of morals. Wraiths may sometimes become a servant if chosen by a god of death, in which they take on an even more dreadful existence. Not all of these lost souls choose to become wraiths, some exceptional individuals may choose to retain their original form and carry out a purpose, be it fulfilling a promise or revenge. These lost souls can be released from their bondage if they are willing, or from the source of powerful magic. Many wraiths can use various magical abilities which are more powerful due to their current state, however they are weak towards holy or light based magic. If a wraith is killed, their form is dispersed in a magical display of colors, and their soul is released.
