Homebrew Wraith Species Details

Wraiths are ghostlike-humans. They have a human shape, but slender and taller. They have some bones showing on their body, sometimes it's an animal skull. Or maybe a bone structure of a tail, or it could just be an arm showing or a leg, foot, hand, etc. If the skull is showing, it will have horns extended from the upper forehead and the eyes will be replaced of a glowing colour; the colours corelating to their alignment.

( Chaotic Evil = Purple | Neutral Evil = Orange | Lawful Evil = Turquoise | Chaotic Neutral = Red | True Neutral = White | Lawful Neutral = Pink | Chaotic Good = Yellow | Neutral Good = Green | Lawful Good = Dark Blue )

They aren't considered ghosts. They're just seen as a ghostlike figure. One reason of this, is because they hover half a foot / a foot above the ground. And they have the bones showing. You don't see many wraiths in the overworld, mostly because they're from the 9 hells. Most of them travel from the underworld, but some of them are born in the overworld, due to the small increase in Wraiths in the overworld. 

They are highly skilled in magic, a lot of them become sorcerers, sometimes warlocks, and rarely wizards.
