Effect: When this spell is cast, the illusionist and all of his or her gear become insubstantial.

The caster can be hit only by magic weapons of +1 or better,
or by creatures otherwise able to affect those struck only by magic weapons. <DM link?>
Undead of most sorts will ignore an individual in wraithform,
believing him or her to be a [wraith] or [spectre],
though a [lich] or "special" undead may save versus spell at -4 to recognize the dweomer.
The illusionist will be able to pass through small holes or narrow openings,
even mere cracks,
with all he or she wears or holds in his or her hands,
as long as the spell persists.
No form of attack is possible when in wraithform,
except against creatures which exist on the Ethereal Plane,
where all attacks (both ways) are normal.
Dispel illusion and [dispel magic] are the only ways to force an illusionist in wraithform back to normal form.
The spell caster can return to normal form at will,
but this ends the spell effect.

MC: A bit of gauze and a wisp of smoke.
 

WSG: An illusionist who casts this spell upon himself just
before leaping or falling will take no damage from the impact of
the fall (assuming he hits ground before the duration expires).
The magic does not alter the weight or mass of the illusionist, only
his physical nature and appearance. The spell cannot be cast
while the illusionist is falling (unlike a feather fall spell, which can
be effected in mid-air), because one of the material components
is a wisp of smoke. However, casting might be possible if the fall
carries the illusionist through a cloud of smoke and he has the
other material component ready in hand, providing that he can
finish the casting before hitting the ground - a body can fall a
long distance in one segment, especially if it has already been accelerating
for some time.
 

Q: Can an illusionist use the
wraithform spell to fly?
A: No; the wraithform spell does not
bestow the power of flight.
Creatures with a 19 intelligence
are immune to first-level illusions.
