==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. Fragments of wraithbone can be used to seed new structures, . Often holding the fragment in place until it takes roots as via [[telekinesis]] and coaxing the Eldar coaxes the material wraithbone fragment to take root and begin to follow grow, following the desired pattern of its new desired form, at which point it is released from the Eldar's telekinetic hold. 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}}
