The Waystone can then be brought back to the Eldar's own [[Craftworld]] and embedded into its wraithbone core where it will grow into a larger spirit stone.{{Fn|3a}} Once the stone is implanted, the Eldar's soul can travel freely through the wraithbone, mingling with other Eldar souls and forming part of the communal spirit of the Craftworld itself.{{Fn|3a}} All the souls within a Craftworld collectively exist inside the [[Infinity Circuit]].{{Fn|3a}} In times of dire need, the Eldar are also able to retrieve the spirit stones of long dead Eldar heroes and place them into the artificial bodies of [[Wraithguard]]s and [[Wraithlord]]s.{{Fn|3b}} These constructs are then piloted by the Eldar soul, which experiences reality as a dream. This process is considered necromancy in Eldar culture and is only used as a last resort. The Eldar [[Warlocks]] who specialize in this process are known as [[Spiritseer]]s.{{Fn|3c}} [[Iyanden]], an Eldar Craftworld with a very small population is known for its greater use of these 'living dead'.{{Fn|3b}}
It is believed by some Eldar that when enough Eldar souls have been gathered within the Infinity Circuit's Circuits of the Craftworlds, a new god will emerge: [[Ynnead]], Eldar God of the Dead. It is hoped by [[Farseer]]s that this god will be powerful enough to vanquish Slaanesh, freeing the Eldar from their doom. Spirit Stones are also an Eldar vehicle upgrade that allows the spirit to control the vehicle in case the pilots are incapacitated, similar to the [[Power of the Machine Spirit]].
One primary source of spirit stones is the old Eldar homeworlds, now known as [[Crone World]]s. Acquiring new spirit stones is extremely dangerous, as the Crone Worlds exist within the [[Eye of Terror]]. In [[Eldar Mythology]] the spirit stones were created by [[Vaul]] from the '''Tears of [[Isha]]'''. This is taken as a metaphor for the crystallization of the psychic energies of the Eye.{{Cite this}}
