→Overview
Wraithbone is essentially solidified [[warp]] energy that is manipulated by a [[Bonesinger]] into any shape that is required.{{Fn|6}} All Eldar have the innate power to mould wraithbone, but Bonsingers spend several human lifetimes cultivating this art. A bonsinger can use fragments of wraithbone to seed new structures, coaxing the material to follow the pattern of its new form. Older pieces of wraithbone take more time and coaxing to change their form, growing slowly.{{Fn|8}}
Metal cannot shatter Wraithbone.{{Fn|8}} It is stronger than any known [[plasteel]] and harder to damage than [[adamantium]],{{Fn|1}} with 8-10mm of Wraithbone being equivalent to 30-45mm of [[Imperial]] armour material,{{Fn|5}} and will naturally repair itself, though the process can be sped up by a Bonesinger.{{Fn|1}} Wraithbone itself is a thousand times stronger than steel.{{Fn|4}} Metal cannot shatter Wraithbone.{{Fn|8}}
Being created from the warp, Wraithbone has innate [[psychic]] abilities allowing it to be used as a communications pathway as well as structural 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.{{Fn|3}}
