**Description:** The Conceded Wraith is a haunting figure, born from the unfulfilled ambitions and frustrations of those who sought power but found themselves outmaneuvered in political games. It drifts silently through the shadows, its presence a whisper of regret and despair. Preferring to manipulate its foes with fear and confusion, it uses its abilities to shift away from danger and strike when least expected. The Wraith embodies the lost hopes of its former life, seeking to sap the vitality of the living while sowing discord among them, reveling in their struggles and failures.
