Ignore the slave wraiths; go straight for demon wraith.
Summon a critter next to it ASAP, so that the critter can get the timestop/symbol stun/symbol fear that all NPC mages in BG use, instead of you. Then, just go whack; you can do 3-4 damage a hit tops, but with 3-4 people doing it, he'll go down.

The Demon Wraith would have to come somewhere on my favourite battles list. It's bloody hard, but when you figure out a strategy (I can never remember what mine is) you get a real sense of satisfaction. Not like throwing magic missiles into a Red Dragon while preventing it from turning hostile. Cheeeeeese. And I hate myself for doing it every time.

I plan to try new tactic, cant remember if its a wild surge area or dead, but triggers or chains should work, and i plan to try triplle fire arrows...wait he has spell turning on? rats, too bad my pc has true bounce cloak, and if you cast fire arrows, it will keep bouncing and quickly take it down.

Its not dead or wild magic there. I just went through it 2 days ago.
I did the keep in ch. 2 (after all other quests except stronghold) and by luck my swashbuckler (main char.) got through to it with his Celestial fury before he could cast time stop (I have boots of speed) - and he was stunned.
I also got lucky with the traps then. Then I quickely got rid of all the traps and sent in every one, including Keldorn with his Charsomyr to attack and interupted enough times to finaly kill him.
I also had Edwin cast spells from the side.
The only problem was that the wraiths minions level drained minsc to death, but the rod of ressurection took care of that easily.
