In times of great need [[Spiritseer]]s{{Fn|5b}} may separate an [[Aeldari]] spirit from the spiritual mass of a [[Craftworld]]'s [[Infinity Circuit]] to place it into a Spirit Stone put aside for this purpose and implant it into an artificial form,{{Fn|1a}} although the consciousness within is never fully as individual or alert as a living Aeldari as they exist at once in the real world and the spiritual world of the [[Warp]], moving through reality as in a dream where thoughts and feelings are as tangible as bone and steel.{{Fn|1a}} This necromancy is unpopular, but viewed as a necessity of the dire circumstances many [[Craftworld]]s find themselves in.{{Fn|5b}} These spirits may be implanted in bodies as such as the [[Wraithguard]]{{Fn|1a}} or [[Wraithlord]]{{Fn|5b}}, or in vehicles to serve as pilots should the living pilot be rendered senseless such as is necessitated within the [[Hemlock Wraithfighter]]{{Fn|5d}} or as an enhancement to a [[Grav-Tank]].{{Fn|5e}}
The largest of the [[Wraith Construct]]s, the [[Eldar Titan]]s, require living [[Steersmen]] to guide them across the battlefield. To accomplish this tremendous task, these mortal pilots wear unremovable Spirit Stone headbands (in addition to the Spirit Stone which will save their soul from [[Slaanesh]] should they perish) that allow them to psychically interface with are hewn from the tremendous stones of ''carrecenad'' within their titans, created from titan and allow them to psychically interface with the entombing of a seed soul through "Soul Grafting" a small-scale [[Lord-PhoenixInfinity Circuit]] and to which every Steersmen lends inside that stone comprised of a portion of their every Steersmen's soul and the initial seed soul, creating of a small-scale [[Infinity CircuitLord-Phoenix]]entombed in the stone during "Soul Grafting". The intermixing of these souls creates a new gestalt within the titan, which is reflected by the addition of ever more new runic letters onto the titan's [[Wraith_Construct#Spirit_Runes|Spirit Seal]], and in the tremendous tactical expertise present in venerable titans. As titans are often passed along familial lines within the [[Titan Clans]], a titan's soul may reflect generations of direct ancestors.{{Fn|24}}
