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.{{ref|img|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.{{ref|b|sa1|ars}}
===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.{{ref|b|sa1|ars}}
;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.{{ref|b|sa1|ars}}{{ref|b|sa1|c|12}} There are also heating fabrials that generate heat.{{ref|b|sa1|c|15}}
;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.{{ref|b|sa1|ars}} [[Painrial]]s are an example of a diminisher that decrease pain.{{ref|b|sa1|c|60}}
===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]].{{ref|b|sa1|ars}} Force is conserved between each pair of fabrials. The force required to move one is equivalent to moving both. Despite limitations in how far the fabrials can be separated and still work, which is affected by certain processes during their manufacture, conjectures about possible applications are being discussed.{{ref|b|sa1|ars}}
;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.{{ref|b|sa1|c|28}}{{ref|b|sa1|ars}}
;Reverses: Reverses 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.{{ref|b|sa1|ars}}
===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.{{ref|b|sa1|ars}}
;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.{{ref|b|sa1|ars}} The [[Emotion bracelet]] is an alerter able to detect different emotions.{{ref|img|Navani2.jpg}}
==Ancient fabrials==
In addition to the various fabrials artifabrians have developed over the years, there are a few that derive from the the [[Heraldic Epochs]].
===Surge Fabrials===
These are fabrials that are able to manipulate Surges, replicating the effects of [[Surgebinding]].<ref name=surgefabrial />
;Soulcasters:These fabrials mimic the the Radiant ability of [[Soulcasting]].{{ref|b|sa1|c|72}} A soulcaster-fabrial consists of two rings and a bracelet connected by chains which hold a group of three gemstones across the back of the hand. Most are only able to effect small, singular changes, such as turning stone into water. About one in ten can effect any change.{{ref|b|sa1|c|5}} They can be activated by tapping one of the three gemstones when holding the hand against what is to be changed.{{ref|b|sa1|c|42}} They manipulate the Surge of Transformation.
;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.{{ref|b|sa1|c|19}} It manipulated the Surge of Growth.
===Possible Fabrials===
;Shardplate: [[Shardplate]] is occasionally referred to as a fabrial, it is not known if this is accurate since
;Oathgates: These are possibly fabrials that would manipulate the Surge of Transportation.
