Spawn Wraith

Any humanoid creature killed by a soulgrinder rises as a freewilled wraith at the start of its creator's next turn; a dragon instead rises as a soulgrinder. The new wraith appears in the space where it died or in the nearest unoccupied space. Raising the slain creature (using the Raise Dead ritual) does not destroy the spawned wraith.
