" "Wrought" is the past and past participle of "work".

i knew that.

" "Wreaked" is correct. 

i stand corrected.  i'd thought that wreak was merely an archaic
dialectic form of work...  i still think one might find a common root
if one goes back far enough -- words have amazing potential to drift
over time.
