Im pretty passionate about wraith - Its probably one of my favourite antags at this stage, but i totally agree that there are some issues:
First id like to link to a couple of previous threads that have had good discussion. Not all directly relevant, but good to see what was previously discussed I think:

Some of the things that were mentioned in the past that I always thought were a neat idea included having a summoning ritual of some kind that would be difficult, but allow you to choose when to engage it. If this were to happen, some kind of battle of wills would be cool, not sure the best way to implement.
Also, the idea of absorbing corpses seems lackluster. It leads to alot of waiting generally. A better idea might be adding a terror, or sanity meter, similar to christmas cheer perhaps? For every death on the station, or every one who sees a dead body, terror increases which helps with . For a successful cloning, or burial, or incineration, or other positive things, terror could decrease. Miasma would DEFINTIELY add alot, so leaving bodies out is bad. Maybe psychiatrist and drugs like haloperidol, ketamine, other "calming" drugs could help too. Using candles to combat somehow would be great too.
