Wraithbone is used to form [[Psychic Runes|Eldar Rune]]s, complex interwoven shapes in distinct patterns. Because they are made of wraithbone the runes retain a connection with the warp, and have the ability to both contain and direct psychic energy. Wraithbone Runes have a protective function, being themselves impervious to external psychic energies, the runes serve as fuses destroying themselves and severing the connection between the [[Seer]] and the [[Warp]].{{Fn|9}}
 
The simian-like, [[mutant|mutated]] [[human]] [[slave]] race of the [[Kakophoni]] appear to be able to subsist off of wraithbone, but how that is possible isn't known.{{Fn|12}}

*{{Endn|Note 1}}: The exact nature of wraithbone is somewhat contradicted in the [[Codex: Aeldari (10th Edition)|10th Edition]] Eldar Codex, stating that it is grown from preexisting minerals, ores, and various other compounds into a psycho-plastic substance.{{Fn|7}} This differs from older lore, which portrays Wraithbone as being grown from the energy of the Warp itself;{{Fn|6}} being composed of crystallised psychic energy.{{Fn|10}} In [[Fabius Bile: Manflayer (Novel)]], wraithbone is described as ''"... in essence solidified warp energy. Raw entropy given substance."'' [[Wrath & Glory - Aeldari - Inheritance of Embers|Wrath & Glory - Aeldari]] has a "Bonesinging" ability, "Conjure Wrathbone", where a simple wraithbone shape is called into existence by an individual in a matter of moments.{{Fn|11b}}
