Adam,
Yes, this is the problem with the Pathfinder RPG system... at times it allows for players to do clever and unexpected things!
As I had pictured the fight, I expected one more round with the Wraith and Kazaven lifting the lid of the sarcophagus ever so slightly every other round. The cunning plan was to cast mislead as I had mentioned then have him doing the lid lifting on the side and make you all believe he was still standing in front. I definitely wanted to give Marcus (or Telas if he had wanted to spend an action looking at it) a +4 circumstance bonus to realise the sarcophagus was a trap and the room not merely zapping negative energy every other round, which it could have been. Marcus of course has the 10 ft aura of trap auto-detect active thanks to one of his talents.
As for the gold-fish issue, having worked with academics all my life, I can assure you that some of them have indeed the attention span of a gold-fish when it comes to focus in research. So what is wrong about the possibility of one being physically transformed into a gold-fish? I find this perfectly believable! Therefore it can help the suspension of disbelief.
