"Purer than flesh, stronger than bone, imperishable is the essence of the wraith."
King Ostarion spent countless years constructing his empire from the remains of his adversaries. It was an obsessional task carried out to fill the length of a monarchy that looked destined to last forever. He thought that he could not pass away as long as he continued to erect the towers of his palace. However, he finally realized that his delusion—that the bone could die—was unfounded. Deeply distrusting of flesh, he looked for a more long-lasting means of extending his rule and finally decided to pursue wraith energy, a type of pure spirit released by some dark souls upon passing. He believed that if he infused himself with Wraith Essence, he could build a body that was as brilliant and immortal as his ego.He consented to a ritual of change on the millennium solstice known as Wraith-Night, ordering his minions to gather enough souls to support his desire for immortality. Nobody is aware of the exact number of his warriors who perished since the Wraith King, who rose with the sun the following morning, was the only important survivor. He no longer spends much time sitting on his glimmering throne, preferring instead to walk around with his sword drawn and demand allegiance that goes well beyond death.

Tips & Tactics
General
In general, your leveling priority of R>E>W>Q. Reincarnation can occasionally be bypassed until levels 8 or 9, but generally speaking, you should level it, especially if you face a high probability of passing away. The fundamental idea is that by maxing Mortal Strike, you increase your likelihood of dealing critical damage and gain access to skeletons, both of which are incredibly helpful for farming. Additionally, Vampiric Aura's additional damage and lifesteal give you the endurance needed for farming.
However, in general, you receive a point in it to battle for runes first, then max your damage and farming spells. If you have a fully free lane with no chance of killing anyone, you can even skip Wraithfire Blast.
