Special Traits

• Spellcasting. A Wraith-Wizard is a 7th-level spellcaster. Its spellcasting ability is Intelligence (spell save DC 16, +8 to hit with spell attacks). It has the following wizard spells prepared:
  • Cantrips (at will): chill touch, mage hand, ray of frost, shocking grasp
  • 1st level (4 slots): false life, fog cloud, mage armor, magic missile
  • 2nd level (3 slots): blindness/deafness, darkness, scorching ray, web
  • 3rd level (3 slots): bestow curse, fireball, slow
  • 4th level (1 slots): black tentacles, confusion
• Incorporeal Movement. A Wraith-Wizard can move through other creatures and objects as if they were difficult terrain. It takes 5 (1d10) force damage if it ends its turn inside an object.
• Sunlight Sensitivity. While in sunlight, a Wraith-Wizard has disadvantage on attack rolls, as well as on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight.
• Sacrilegious Aura. A Wraith-Wizard exudes an aura of desecration out to a radius of 30 feet. A Wraith-Wizard and any undead within the defiled area have advantage on saving throws against effects that turn undead.

Actions

• Life Drain. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: 21 (4d8 + 3) necrotic damage. The target must succeed on a DC 14 Constitution saving throw or its hit point maximum is reduced by an amount equal to the damage taken. This reduction lasts until the target finishes a long rest. The target dies if this effect reduces its hit point maximum to 0.
• Create Specter. A Wraith-Wizard targets a humanoid within 10 feet of it that has been dead for no longer than 1 minute and died violently. The target’s spirit rises as a specter in the space of its corpse or in the nearest unoccupied space. The specter is under a Wraith-Wizard’s control. A Wraith-Wizard can have no more than seven specters under its control at one time.
