A '''fabrial''' is a type of mechanical device, powered by [[Stormlight]] that uses [[spren]] captured in gemstones to perform a variety of tasks.{{book ref
The term "fabrial" is often used colloquially to refer to the entire device. Artifabrians however use it to refer specifically to a gem with a captured spren, calling the entire device a machine.{{file ref|Navani1.jpg|}}
==Modern fabrials==
{{for|:Category: Fabrials| a full listing of known fabrial-machine designs}}
Modern artifabrians divide the fabrials they design among five groups across three categories. The fabrials they create are all the result of scientific research.{{book ref
===Altering fabrials===
Altering fabrials changed something in some way, such as making something hotter or colder, increasing something durability, or eliminating pain. Artifabrians believe there is potential for greater types of fabrials in this category.{{book ref
;Augmenters: Augumenters enhance or increase something, they worked best with forces, emotions or sensations. [[Half-shard]]s and [[Grandbow]]s are examples of augmenters that increase durability.{{book ref
;Diminishers: Diminishers act as opposites of augmenters, decreasing something as opposed to increasing it. diminished something. In general they operate in a similar manner to augmenters, with similar restrictions.{{book ref
===Pairing fabrials===
Pairing fabrials are, as the name suggests, created in pairs that can move in parallel, or the opposite, over great distances. This category was a recent discovery during the [[War of Reckoning]].{{book ref
;Conjoiners: Conjoiners are created from infused rubies which are split in half. The two halves would then be able to exhibit parallel movements over large distances. [[Spanreed]]s are the most widespread example of conjoiner, linking two pens and allowing for long-distance comunications.{{book ref
;Reversers: Reversers are created in a similar manner to conjoiners, using an amethyst instead of a ruby. The two halves will then be able to exhibit equal but opposite reactions; lifting one would cause the other to be lowered.{{book ref
===Warning fabrials===
[[File: Navani2.jpg|thumb|An excerpt from Navani's Notebook depicting an Emotion Bracelet and examples of stormlight patterns]]
Warning fabrials detect things and give notice to the user. Their range depends on the the amount of Stormlight infused into its fabrial-gem.{{book ref
;Alerters: Alerters are able to detect the presence of objects, feelings, sensations, or phenomenon and warn the user. Alerters utilize heliodors in their design. There are [[Alerter| alerters which can detect approaching people]], which is able to exclude certain people from detection.{{book ref
==Ancient fabrials==
===Surge Fabrials===
These are fabrials that are able to manipulate Surges, replicating the effects of [[Surgebinding]].{{qa ref|1038|13|Can fabrials replicate all Surgebinding abilities?}}
;Soulcasters:These fabrials mimic the the Radiant ability of [[Soulcasting]].{{book ref
;Regrowth: A female [[Stoneward]] possessed what appears to be a fabrial constructed from a large topaz and heliodor that was able to "regrow" and repair injuries.{{book ref
;Oathgates: These fabrials manipulate the Surge of Transportation. There are hints that the [[Oathgate]]s were responsible for the near-instantaneous travel possible during the Heraldic Epochs and were one of the only ways to reach [[Urithiru]]. They could only be activated by living [[Shardblade]]s, as wielded by the [[Knights Radiant]].{{book ref
