A '''fabrial''' is a [[Stormlight]]-powered mechanical device from [[Roshar]] that uses [[spren]] captured in gemstones to perform a particular supernatural task. The magical properties of modern fabrials can usually be activated by anyone who knows how to use them.{{book ref|sa2|86}} A person who creates or designs fabrials is called an '''artifabrian'''.{{book ref|sa1|part=ars}} The term "fabrial" is often used colloquially to refer to the entire device.

== History ==
Pre-Shattering, [[Adonalsium]] prevented fabrials from existing.{{wob ref|13333}}
During the [[Heraldic Epochs]], the [[Knights Radiant]] knew how to create [[Surge]] fabrials, including [[Soulcaster]]s, healing fabrials, and [[Oathgate]]s. Their knowledge of non-Surge fabrials, which the modern fabrial science concerns itself with, was far less advanced than that of the current scholars.{{book ref|sa3|96}} Some principles, however, were known even then: among others, the lifts in [[Urithiru]] were created with conjoining fabrials.{{book ref|sa3|24}} With the fall of the Radiants, knowledge of most fabrials was lost, with Soulcasters as the major exception. Over time, the stories of Radiant fabrials became vastly exaggerated, with many people believing that they were far more numerous, and much more advanced, than what modern science has created.{{book ref|sa3|96}}
According to [[Nikli]], the original Aimians used devices to terraform Aimia to make it habitable, equating those devices with early fabrials. [[Nikli]] insinuates that the [[scouring of Aimia]] was caused by destruction of these fabrials during a number of wars, perhaps the Desolations, because the islands of Aimia could not sustain life without them.{{book ref|sa3.5|9}}
=== Reactions to Metal ===
Once trapped in a gem, spren respond to stimuli in consistent and predictable ways. The metal frame surrounding the gem creates the stimuli the spren react to - pressing metal against a flamespren in a ruby increases and decreases heat.{{book ref|sa3|33}} Spren react to different metals in different ways, with their behavior generally paralleling the [[Allomantic]] powers for each individual metal. Multiple fabrial gems can be placed inside a single wireframe, which lets them work together to create more complex results. The [[emotion bracelet]], for example, has ten gems, with patterns in which they light up corresponding to different emotions.{{file ref|Navani2.jpg|text=Navani's Notebook: Two}} The god metal [[Shardblade]]s are composed of can be used in fabrials.{{wob ref|14138}}
==== Zinc ====
[[Zinc]] in contact with a gemstone will cause its captured spren to more strongly manifest.{{book ref|sa4|7}}
==== Brass ====
[[Brass]] in contact with a gemstone will cause its spren to withdraw and its power to dim.{{book ref|sa4|7}}
==== Bronze ====
[[Bronze]] in contact with a gemstone will cause it to alert someone of objects, entities, or phenomena nearby by increasing its brightness.{{book ref|sa1|i|4}}{{book ref|sa4|8}} The range of this construction is determined by how much [[Stormlight]] can be infused into the gemstone.{{book ref|sa1|i|4}}
