3 ways to kill them:
	(1) Use a wand of cancellation on them first. They're cake
	after that.
	(2) Wand of disintegration.
	(3) Wand of anti-matter.

A few other notes:
	Using a magic-user and employing the wraith/wight 'feature'
	I had:
		25th level
		1500 hp's (use healing as you do enchants)
		intell 300
		streng 150
		wisdom 150
		dex    150
		const   25
		+102 plate armor (ac -100)
		+40,+40 two-handed sword
	I had become a human wand of disintegration by then!!!
	Remember that demogorgon, horned devils, hezrou, and
	glabrezus can all lead to wraiths/wights (demogorgon summons
	glabrezus).

	Use a cursed wand of disintegration on a quartermaster!!! It
	is great to see something like below. Follow this with a
	blessed scroll of hold monster and have a party!!!!

	Another bug worth checking out (it may have been fixed): Go
	into the trading posts with a full armful of stuff. Trying
	to buy something will tell you you cannot carry it and
	identify it for you. It doesn't even cost you a
	transaction.

	Another bug worth checking out (it may have been fixed): Go
	ahead and try to acquire the amulet with a scroll of
	acquirement. I've had up to three at one time (they sell
	nicely in shops).
