Blackstone Noctilith is the substance which the [[Necrons]] use to create their star-spanning tetrahedral zones of stable space and is known to be highly resistant to the powers of the [[Warp]]. Blackstone Noctilith is known to hold back Empyreaic energies, limiting both [[Psychic]] abilities and the manifestation of [[Daemon]]s.{{Fn|3}} Found in abundance on [[Tomb World]]s, the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] under [[Belisarius Cawl]] in particular has sought out deposits for blackstone.{{Fn|1}} Conversely, Blackstone Noctilith can also enhance the effects of psychic powers.{{Fn|5}} Blackstone Noctilith can be tuned by specialized devices to either amplify or nullify the Warp.{{Fn|6}}

The Imperium covets BlackstoneNoctilith, which some call "[[Blank|Pariah]] stone" due to its similar effect. Cawl and more ambitious members of the Mechanicum wish to mine enough Blackstone Noctilith and empower it in order to create a shield against [[Chaos]], perhaps subverting the growth of the [[Great Rift]].{{Fn|3}} The Necrons have been able to use Blackstone Noctilith to create entire regions of space free from the touch of the Warp, such as the [[Pariah Nexus]].{{Fn|4}} [[Szarekh]] hopes to create this array on a galactic scale.{{Fn|5}}

Further effects of Blackstone Noctilith have been observed. Any living creature within the area of influence of Blackstone Noctilith will find themselves afflicted with a numbing despair that only worsens with time until they become little more than a mindless husk - a perfect vessel for Necron experimentation on the reversal of [[biotransference]].{{Fn|5}}

It is said that the [[Chaos Gods]] have their own plans for BlackstoneNoctilith.{{Fn|5}}
