When Wraithform is cast, the wizard and all of his gear become insubstantial.

Description[]

When this spell is cast, the wizard and all of [their] gear become insubstantial. The caster is subject only to magical or special attacks, including those by weapons of +1 or better enchantment, or by creatures otherwise able to affect those struck only by magical weapons. The wizard also gains 25% resistance to magic damage. While in wraithform, the caster cannot cast either arcane or divine spells.

Gameplay[]

The spell deactivates arcane and divine spellcasting and also innate abilities (e.g. Bhaalspawn powers).

When the spell is applied to the caster, the creature's sprite will display several visual effects such as a transparency fade and glow pulse effect for the duration of the spell. A sound effect is audible at the beginning and another when the spell expires. The creature's portrait will display an icon (No. 23 "Invulnerable").

When the spell is cast a text display reads "Wraithformed",

Original games two letters logoBaldur's Gate I & II Classic
This icon indicates content from all original Baldur's Gate games, extensions included.
In the original Baldur's Gate series, Wraith Form – as it is spelled in those games – is only available in the base game, Baldur's Gate, as rare random treasure. This find is replaced with a scroll for "Dire Charm" when the add-on Tales of the Sword Coast is installed or in packages, such as the Original Saga, and the spell is completely removed from the series' second part – probably due to buggy behavior. [verification needed]

In the Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition and its expansion Siege of Dragonspear, the scroll can only be found during a single encounter, making the spell otherwise available for a mage only if creating a new character for the add-on campaign.
 The scroll is sold at three stores in Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition.
