Wraiths

Wraith Mages
When ambitious mages become obsessed with power and
knowledge, they push themselves beyond their limits and
dabble with dark magic they don’t fully understand. They often
take shortcuts and ignore the risks. It only takes a potent spell
to malfunction or an experiment to go terribly awry, and they
inadvertently unleash powerful negative energy that consumes
their bodies and souls. If these mages also lived a depraved life,
they may not pass to the afterlife. Instead, their spirit reforms as a
malevolent wraith, but with their memories and knowledge intact.
Insane and filled with hate for the living, they now use their magic
to destroy all life.
