Denethor pensava intimamente que Gandalf era aliado de Aragorn para roubar o trono de Gondor, a morte de seu filho, Boromir, e a amizade e respeito de Faramir pelo mago lhe tiraram quase toda a esperança de deixar um filho no trono em seu lugar.

Boromir was the son of Denethor, a man who cloyed his mind on the dark knowledge he found in a Palantir.
Denethor was not an "aspiring wraith," his intention was not to use the palantir to subject himself to Sauron, but to contest him for Love of his city.
However, while the term was used to only symbolize the permeation of Denethor II by the shadow of Sauron, it can be argued that Denethor II was unintentionally contributing to his saturation.
