Navani's notebook is a series of pages found in The Way of Kings, Words of Radiance, and Oathbringer, which were translated from Alethi script into English.
Page One[]
Drawing by Isaac Stewart
The page explains how different types of spren are used to power fabrials, which in turn power machines. An example of such a machine is the pain knife, a non-lethal weapon used for self-defense.
Text[]
| “ |
The cut and type of the gem determines what kind of spren are attracted to it and can be imprisoned in it. |
” |
| “ |
Once a spren is captured and the gem infused with Stormlight the fabrial can be used in machines.[1] |
” |
| “ |
Cold, gravity, pain, heat, wind, flamespren trapped in emerald[1] |
” |
| “ |
The pain knife is used as a means of protection. Sharp blades pierce an attacker’s clothing and cause crippling pain[1] |
” |
| “ |
Remove outer covering to infuse fabrial with Stormlight |

Page Two[]
Drawing by Isaac Stewart
The page describes the design and operation of a fabrial-powered bracelet (presumably of Navani's own invention) that can be used to read the emotions of nearby people.
Text[]
| “ |
Patterns of Stormlight filtered through the fabrial determine the power of the gem |
” |
| “ |
Man betrayed by a close friend |
” |
| “ |
Anticipation |
” |
| “ |
love |
” |
| “ |
joy |
” |
The trick of the emotion fabrials is first learning to read it and second learning to tell if the bracelet is reading your emotions, your subject's emotions, or the emotions of the person in the next room over.
Page Three[]
Drawing by Isaac Stewart
This fabrial was created so as to keep archers protected - as a windbreak - from the effects of highstorms. It has somewhat the ability of a Surgebinder in that it "somehow manipulated gravityspren".[citation needed]
