'''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>
It Wraithbone is essentially solidified [[warp]] energy which is manipulated by a [[Bonesinger]] into whatever any shape that is neededrequired. It can only be shaped by using is stronger than any known [[plasteel]] and harder to damage than [[psyker|psychicadamantium]] powers but is extremely malleable , and will naturally repair itself, though the process can be made into any shape the sped up by a Bonesinger wants. It is also very tough and resilient. <sup>1</sup> Being created from the warp, it Wraithbone has innate psyhic psychic abilities allowing it to be used as a communications pathway as well as the structurestructural support. It carries psychic energy much as a cable carrying current does, as well as containing psychic shields to protect the occupants from the warp.
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.
