'''Mistwraiths''' were a species of creatures on [[Scadrial]].

They were created by the [[Lord Ruler]] from the [[Terris]] [[Worldbringer]]s after he took the power at the [[Well of Ascension]].

Through the use of [[Hemalurgy]] they could regain the sentience they once possessed, becoming [[kandra]] after being implanted with two Hemalurgic spikes. [[MeLaan]] mentions that removing both spikes brings the kandra back to their "primal state," once again becoming a mistwraith.{{book ref|sos|13}}. The transformation from mistwraith back to kandra is quick, as evidenced when [[Wayne]] replaces MeLaan's spikes after she experiences this firsthand,{{book ref|bom|29}} although this could depend on how much time passes between each state.

The transition from mistwraith to kandra requires specific types of Hemalurgic spikes, and not just any kind of spike. For instance, if a mistwraith ate a [[koloss]], they would not become a true kandra, but there would be "very weird side effects".{{wob ref|date=2016-6-11|4580|Barnes & Noble B-Fest 2016}}

Like kandra they appeared to be amorphous blobs capable of absorbing bones and tissue of other creatures to gain shape. However, unlike kandra, since they do not possess sentience, their shapes were totally random and mixed many different species into one.

Mistwraiths are people who have a blockage between the Physical Realm and the Cognitive Realm.{{wob ref|date=2012-09-27|1230|17th Shard Q&A}}

Evidence is not conclusive that mistwraiths still existed after the [[Catacendre]].{{book ref|bom|12}} But there is some proof.

-== Physiology ==
-Like [[kandra]], mistwraiths appear to be amorphous blobs capable of absorbing bones and tissue of other creatures to gain shape. However, unlike kandra, since they do not possess sentience, their shapes are random and mix many different species into one. Contradictory to their typically huge and unnerving appearance, they are actually quite harmless and only eat dead bodies.{{book ref|mb1|8}}
-Mistwraiths are people who have a blockage between the Physical Realm and the Cognitive Realm, which impairs their ability to think.{{wob ref|1230}} They have a lifespan of roughly fifty years and are able to breed.{{wob ref|8053}}

-== In Culture ==
-They are usually fearful existences in [[skaa]] folklore, associated with skaa's fear toward mists.{{book ref|mb1|9}} It is believed that mistwraiths can take a person's face or fully impersonate them; one way to be sure a person is not a mistwraith is to take them out into the sunlight and verify that they don't disappear.{{book ref|mb1|prologue}}{{book ref|mb1|4}}

-Post Catacendre, mistwraith statues are placed in cemeteries in order to scare "territorial" mistwraiths away. The need for this is likely just superstition.{{book ref|mb6|12}}

-The transition from mistwraith to kandra requires specific types of Hemalurgic spikes, known as [[blessing]]s. Other types of Hemalurgic spikes, such as those that create [[koloss]], would not necessarily be enough to transform the mistwraith into a kandra if ingested. However, they would cause weird side effects.{{wob ref|4580}}
