When you go up a level, you gain 1d10 HP.  When you go down (e.g.
from a wraith), you lose 1d10, so you do not necessarily have to
gain exactly what you lost from a wraith (if you are daring, if
you have just gained a level and very few HP, you may want to
let a wraith knock you down one (hoping to lose just a few HP,
taking the chance of losing many) and then hope to gain a lot more
when you go back up)
