I like it, it's exactly what I've been looking for!
A couple questions though:

What would you raise for a 36 point build?
What is the purpose of the Dodge feat and Precision feat?
1 AC seems negligible, why not take another toughness?
Also, halved damage sounds unfavorable, are you really worried about having enough to-hit?

Many thanks!

The blue text is very difficult to read.

sorry for the selection of colors, I have modified the forum and now I see it like in the picture

1. +1str ability - 4 free enhance points(for Improved skill for example)
2. AC is never too much
3.12 levels of wizard doing their shortcomings - low BAB for example - low hit(Precision feat + trait of a wraith = unarmed crit = con damage = autocrits on regular mobs) anyway you free to choose what you want

The blue text is very difficult to read.

now better?

[Reos]

Precision just adds to your to-hit, right? I've never used it, but I've seen no mention of auto crits, except if you mean after stunning?

I think he means once their con hits 0 (wraith crits do con damage).

Long ago I had precision on a finesse wizard and it was really good at low levels provided you had a good low end elemental damage weapon. Now days AC's are a bit lower.

I just don't think there is much point in unarmed undead attacks, you will almost always do more damage via some other strategy.

I have on the other hand seen very effective tanking with a similar build so you might check into that angle.

[incineration]

am i the only one who noticed the half orc fury enhancements in his str breakdown? isn't that a +8 str at 15% or less hp? IE for his max damage potential he must be near death...or did they buff it and i just missed it?

[Berillintranoks]

I think he means once their con hits 0 (wraith crits do con damage).

exactly

+8 str at 15% or less hp? IE for his max damage potential he must be near death...

correct - max damage in critical situations

[voodoogroves]

To echo sigtrent ... I've tested out the wraith and lich versions of this and I was pretty disappointed. I didn't cap either and sure, they are late bloomers, but the output simply isn't there. The death aura/etc. is very noticeably weaker than a Wiz 18's and shorter in duration. Crits don't happen often enough to build a wraith-form version around and the inflict proc on lich-form's strikes is simply too little to make a real impact.

It can be fun; have fun with it - but you'll definitely find some problem areas. You may enjoy figuring out how to handle them though, and that could be fun on its own. You may be able to drain someone's CON zero and outlast them - but you'll really struggle against self-healers and bosses.
