Wraith (Oblivion)

Wraiths cast Frost spells, much like ghosts, but their magic also drains your Strength and Endurance. They also cast a Silence spell, which lasts for about 20 seconds. They can carry weapons, such as Elven shortswords.

As your character attains higher levels, wraiths completely replace ghosts as the game adapts its difficulty to your character level. Thus, wraiths are mainly encountered in dungeons and chapel basements. Like their ghost cousins, wraiths are immune to most normal weapons. They are vulnerable to silver, daedric, and enchanted weapons, as well as magic. Also, if your Hand to Hand skill is high enough (Journeyman), then you can utilize your fists to defeat them.
