A '''Fabrial''' is a type of mechanical device that uses [[spren]] captured in gemstones to perform a variety of tasks.{{ref|b|sa1|ars}} The types of spren that can be captured in a gem depend on the gem's type and color, implying that there are "thousands of possible combinations."{{ref|[[:File:Navani1.jpg| Navani's Notebook: One]]}} A fabrial-gem's power can be determined by the, invisible, pattern of stormlight that gets filtered through the gem.{{ref|[[:File:Navani2.jpg| Navani's Notebook: Two]]}}
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|[[:File:Navani1.jpg| Navani's Notebook: One]]}}
==Altering fabrials==▼
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}}
