Had a chain of thoughts on the wraith while thinking about their item for the Upon Your Death thread and it felt like it belonged in it's own thread.
I had thought about puzzle boxes for the wights but with the wraith's center being pain I couldn't help but remember Hellraiser and the cenobits. I'm not sure what lore is planned for them but this could be a neat way for Wraiths to come into eexistence. One origin I heard about for their creation is that they're magic users who failed in becoming liches, this form being the consequence of it. A variation of this origin with a Hellraiser style puzzle box is what I'm getting at with people seeking immortality through mysterious puzzle boxes that are rumored to promise it for those who solve it. The price of this immortality being that they'll be tortured to death by whatever is locked inside, their souls being twisted and driven mad through the process before returning as wraiths.
Aesthetically there could be some influences from Hellraiser as well, with their ghostly forms having scars and masacistic decoration.
What do you think? Do you have any ideas for the wraith?
