Here's a very early draft of the Wraith write-up that I did for AR. Note that this didn't even get as far as being preliminarily accepted by Issaries, so its completely unofficial:

*Wraith*

*/Might 18, Icy Touch 2W, Resist Damage 10W/*

            Wraiths are a special type of ghost animated by feelings of frustration and hatred. They are permanently visible, and take the form of translucent skeletons or partially rotted corpses. They radiate cold, and emit an odour of decay. Some wraiths haunt specific sites, as normal ghosts do, but a few are free to wander as they will. They seek to destroy all living things that they encounter.

*Combat Tactics: *A wraith attacks with its icy touch, which can pass through armour or any other physical barrier, although anti-spirit magics will be effective. Even if the victim survives, he will be permanently weakened; the handicaps for injury remain in effect until he is blessed by a shaman or healed by other appropriate magics. Because wraiths are immaterial, they are invulnerable to normal attacks, and may be injured only by magic, although this may include magically augmented weapons, for example.
