Let's stop all of these silly and repetitive questions and wrong answers concerning wraiths and such. When a wraith hits you, you may be weakened. When this happens your experience is 1 point less than what you need for the next level. E.g. suppose you are level 4 with 51 experience points, and you are weakened by a wraith. Then you will have 39 experience points. In this way, on no matter what experience level you may have been, you will always go back up to your original level when you kill the wraith (unless of course you were drained of more than one level.) To give you an interesting example of this, once I was fighting a wraith when I was about to start fainting. It weakened me, but I decided I had better eat. Eating the food gave me 1 experience point, and this was enough to bring me back up before killing the wraith (whenever it says "Yuck, this food tastes awful!," you gain 1 experience point.) Also, whenever you go up or down an experience level (for whatever reason), the number of hit points you gain or lose is a random number from 1 to 10, with all numbers equally likely. (There had been an article speculating there was some pattern of increments followed... this is not the case). Just wanted to clear things up.
