Wraithform does not walk through stone walls.

I find it hard to believe this is a bug, but it clearly says "allows your character to walk through walls" and in the minotaur dungeon(the level 8~ dungeon with a minotaur) it clearly says the surrounding structure is "Wall", but you can't walk through them in wraithform.

Are the walls not diggable? I think 'walk through walls' technically means 'walk through diggable walls'..

The maze is not diggable (which is really unfortunate for Alt Maze, which can spawn chests in isolated rooms), and I think you're correct about wraithform and similar talents only working on diggable walls. I believe wraithform may also have problems with trees for some reason, but I might be remembering that wrong.

When I used it (lots of releases ago), Wraithform did not work on trees. If it was meant to be thematic (trees can be living beings), then it should have distingushed between dead and living trees (some areas have the former I think)...
