Wraiths were different from ghosts in that wraiths had no will of their own, nor much of a sense of self. This made them excellent henchpeople and servants for magic-users who didn't mind the ethical implications. Living people could also magically be turned into wraiths by means of cursed toadstools; the [[Queen of the Black Market]]'s supplier of the same even managed to create ''virtual'' curse toadstools that could turn digital intelligences like [[Temp]]s into wraiths.

The Queen of the Black Market used wraiths as spies, household staff, guards and enforcers around her [[Interdimensional Black Market]]. She also used them as a source of immortality, draining their life-force to restore her own if she was injured or killed, and occasionally attempted to train individual wraiths to make them into novelty pets, such as [[Wallace (The Grand Multiverse Hotel)|Wallace]].
