Warpstone (WAR)  

Warpstone is an emerald green crystal that resembles jade from its appearance. It is very dangerous, because it has very strong mutating powers capable of transforming nearly any organic lifeform, and thus is considered by many to be the very essence of Chaos. It has also been known to be somewhat addictive if consumed in small amounts. The Skaven wizards are often found with a high addiction to Warpstone, because of the way they use it to enhance their magical power greatly (however dangerous it may be to their health in the process of doing so). Warpstone is so popular in Skaven trade that it can be even considered their currency.

Dwarfs tend to stay clear of warpstone, though rogue Engineers may experiment with it. Dark Elves often magically experiment with the substance and Malus Darkblade has a sword whose blade is made entirely of warpstone - the Warpsword of Khaine. While Elves seem to be immune from the mutating effects Warpstone for the most part, high concentrations may have a detrimental effect on their santity over time.
