**Description**: The Mediation Wraith is a spectral being that arises from unresolved conflicts and shattered negotiations. Its appearance is a swirling mass of shadow and flickering light, with faint echoes of anguished voices woven into its form. The Wraith haunts places where disputes have turned deadly, seeking to consume the lingering frustrations of the living. It uses its abilities to sow chaos and fear, preying on those who cannot come to terms with their tragic pasts. With a mix of stealth and psychological manipulation, the Wraith often waits for opportune moments to strike, preferring to isolate its victims before revealing its terrifying presence.
