A Fabrial is an artifact made by an Artifabrian who harnesses the power of Stormlight in gemstones in order to perform a given function. The type of gemstone and the size greatly influence the efficacy of the fabrial; the larger the stone, the more Stormlight it can gather and the more powerful its effects will be. Fabrial technology is believed to have been based on the magic of the Shardblades.

Types of fabrialEdit

There are five groupings of fabrials (outside of Soulcasting fabrials) discovered so far:

Warning fabrialsEdit

These are devices created to warn of of something nearby be that a person a sensation or an object a larger gemstone infused in this type of fabrial increases the range at which the user can be warned. The device used by Rysn to warn of the approaching Shin is an example of this type of fabrial.

Pairing fabrialsEdit

• Conjoiners are created by splitting one gemstone - specifically, a ruby - which will in turn act as a whole, with the actions of one half affecting the other half. The most common example of this type of fabrial is the Spanreed by which means communication can be affected over a vast distance.
• Reversers act in the opposite way to conjoiners and are created by the splitting of an amethyst instead of a ruby. The reaction of each half is the exact opposite of what one half undergoes; to lift up one half would cause the other half to be forced downwards.

Altering fabrialsEdit

• Augmenters are fabrials which enhance something. They can be used to increase heat or movement, to warm a room or generate a breeze. The half-shard shields invented in Jah Keved are an example of an augmenting fabrial.
• Diminishers are fabrials which work opposite of Augmenters. They are used to reduce something, such as pain or heat. The device used by Navani to reduce the pain in the wrist of her nephew Adolin is an example of this type of fabrial.
