Incorporeal Movement. The wraith can move through other creatures and objects as if they were difficult terrain. It takes 5 (1d10) force damage if it ends its turn inside an object.
Midday Dance. Each creature within 60 feet of the wraith that can see it must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or become charmed, joining the wraith in its maddening dance. The creature is free from the enchantment if it takes any damage. Each hour passed dancing, the creature gains one level of exhaustion. A charmed target can repeat the saving throw each hour, with disadvantage if the wraith is within line of sight, ending the effect on itself on a success. If a target's saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the target is immune to the noonwraith's Midday Dance for the next 24 hours.
Moonlight Hypersensitivity. At night, the wraith has disadvantage on attack rolls, as well as on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight.
Life Drain. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: 28 (5d8 + 5) necrotic damage. The target must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or its hit point maximum is reduced by an amount equal to the damage taken. This reduction last until the target finishes a long rest. The target dies if this effect reduces its hit point maximum to 0.
Searing Heat (Recharge 5-6). The wraith wraps heat and dust around her. Every creature within 20 feet of the wraith must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw, taking 22 (6d6) fire damage on a failed save and being blinded until the end of their next turn. Creatures take half as much damage on a successful saving throw and are not blinded.
Description
Noonwraith
Innocence Lost. Crops swaying in the fields on a windless day indicate that a noonwraith is nearby. These wraiths kill humans who venture into the fields at noontime, thus, farmers return home or seek shelter in the shade at this time of the day. The noonwraith is a sun-burned old woman. Clothed in a linen, she hovers just above the ground, her hair white from constant exposure to the sun. Streaks of light drift about her, and when necessary she uses these to blind her opponents. The noonwraith's frock and shoes suggest she once was a young girl, who venturing into the fields, joined in a spectral dance and thus entered the spirit world as a wraith.
Wronged Brides. The noonwraiths are the spirits of young women and girls who died violent deaths right before their weddings. Driven mad with pain or anger, they wander the fields searching for their unfaithful lovers or backstabbing rivals, though they will kill anyone who does not get out of their way in time. They are often held in this world by some object of intense emotional significance. That is why, if one ever finds a wedding ring or torn veil in the middle of a field, one should not pick it up, but instead back away as quickly as possible. Contrary to popular belief, noonwraiths can also be encountered at night, but are much weaker then than during the day.
Optional: Wraith Rejunevation
Often, simply destroying the physical form of a wraith isn't enough to get rid of it permanently. Most wraith haunt a specific location and sending them to their final death will require some extra work. If destroyed, a wraith will regain all its hit points in 24 hours, unless prevented to in the following ways:
Noonwraith. Reforms at the place of its haunting unless a remove curse spell is used on the anchor binding it to this world. The anchor could be a wedding ring, a bride's veil, wedding vows or even, in some cases, a person or its remains.
