I wonder what's behind this. I'm not buying the speculation about errors in a future book. There are so many references in the 40k lore about Bonesingers and the whole mythical process that even other Eldar know virtually nothing about. Why wouldn't GW simply explain such errors the way they usually do, as something that inevitably arises from their overuse of the 'unreliable narrator' (as far-fetched as it often is in their hands). Especially since even very recent 40k content (games, I think) has an Eldar mention she has no clue about it, since she is not a Bonesinger and she doesn't know how they summon their stuff.
There must be something else behind this. GW laying the ground for a big lore change in the near future? Some uber-gifted Eldar equivalent of Erda (the DEI-spawned mother of Primarchs), to be introduced as the most skilled legendary master crafter in history who first discovered the way to manufacture wraithbone? You know, something like that to justify a future inclusion of a new girlboss who will own the whole setting from now on...
Or it might be just a small obscure clarification, since there seems to always have been a tiny difference between summoning the material and shaping it into an actual item, which could be referred to as manufacturing. Perhaps people are just reading too much into it. Anyway, time will tell - I can see it going either way.
Eh… With all due respect to the fans, this is a tad bit too autistic for me to get upset over. But sure, fuck GW.
Games Workshop already made it pretty clear that they don't care about canon. When a company does that, the fans shouldn't either.
More Inqustion disinformation.
Emperor protects.
Braindead consoomers will continue to throw their money and spend their time on this "hobby".
