Yet these dangers are necessary given the arcane weaponry the Hemlock can wield. The Spiritseer's own abilities are magnified many times over by the [[mindshock pod]] in their cockpit, allowing them to send out a wave of terror from their craft that is capable of shattering the enemy with feelings of panic. Just as this fear reaches its peak, the Hemlock's spirits will fire the [[Heavy D-Scythe]]s mounted under each wing, leaving behind no blast, damage, or trail, but rather only a stream of corpses as the victims souls are ripped from their bodies. Originally intended to sever a [[Tyranid Warrior]]'s link to the [[Hive Mind]], these weapons are even powerful enough to disrupt the engrams of a [[Necron Warrior]]. This is an act the Eldar have dubbed the 'Cutting of the Crone's Cord', for in Eldar myth the silvered strand that ties the soul to the body can only be cut by the Crone Goddess [[Morai-Heg]]. Thus to deploy Hemlocks is to defy their own culture's traditions and dogma.{{Fn|1}}
===Corsair Wraithfighters===
Hemlock Wraithfighters occasionally find their ways into [[Eldar Corsair]] fleets as their pilots commit themselves to corsair causes. The [[Warlock]] [[Dethrian]] of the [[Eldritch Raiders]] followed [[Prince Yriel]] from [[Iyanden]] in his Wraithfighter.{{Fn|5}}
