'''Wraithbone''' is a psycho-plastic substance used by the [[Eldar]] for many different tasks, including the construction of buildings , ships and weapons.<sup>1</sup>
Effectively, the wraithbone performs all of the tasks a machine would. The organic members of the crew use psychic powers to perform their duties, but it is the wraithbone itself that actually does it. In the case of Eldar ships, the basic framework is created from Wraithbone and then the internal areas are made, finishing with the actual internal components. Once this is complete, the ship is ready to be used. Even the mighty [[Craftworld|craftworlds]] are made of Wraithbone, and this is how the occupants of craftworlds survived the birth of [[Slaanesh]], for the psychic shield of the Wraithbone protected them from his mighty psychic scream.
