'''Silimatic''' technologies use glass made from different types of sand to produce differing effects. Silimatic glass can be used by anyone, but lenses can only be used by [[Oculator]]s. [[Alcatraz Smedry]] has drawn parallels between Silimatic technologies and [[Smedry Talent]]s in the past. He has also been able to increase the power of various Silimatic technologies.

== Silimatic Sand ==
All types of Silimatic technology are made originally out of sand.

;Brightsand: Brightsand is one of the most common types of sand. It lets off a glow that causes other types of sand, or glass, to do strange things. Brightsand powers most silimatic technology.

;Dullsand: Dullsand is one of the only types of sand that don't do anything. The librarians have gone to great lengths to cover beaches in it to make sand seem common and boring, and thus of little value. It is possible that non-Silimatic glass is made of dullsand.

== Silimatic Glass ==
Types of glass include the following:

; {{anchor|Alivener's Glass}}Alivener's Glass: Also known as [[Glass of Alivening]], Alivener's Glass can create [[Alivened]] by storing part of a Dark Oculator's humanity, making the Dark Oculator less humane in the process.

; {{anchor|Builder's Glass}}Builder's Glass: Builder's Glass is used as a building material. It is not as strong as Restoring Glass.{{book ref|a1|3}}

; {{anchor|Communicator's Glass}}Communicator's Glass: When broken in half, Communicator's Glass allows communication between the two pieces for 20 days. Usually, both halves must be activated in order to allow for communication.{{ref|text=This rule does not seem to apply to Alcatraz}}{{book ref|a5|1}}. In extreme cases, this glass can communicate one way with ordinary glass, and it can also be set to transmit one way.{{book ref|a5|1}}

; {{anchor|Defender's Glass}}Defender's Glass: Defender's Glass protects structures that are inside it. It is extremely strong.

; {{anchor|Detonator's Glass}}Detonator's Glass: Detonator's Glass explodes. It can be set to go off within a certain area.{{book ref|a3|3}}

; {{anchor|Grappler's Glass}}Grappler's Glass: Grappler's Glass clings to other surfaces, influencing gravity. It is used on the bottoms of boots to enable people to walk up surfaces. It supports the whole body instead of only fixing the foot in place. It is often used by Alcatraz to walk on Silimatic vehicles such as the ''[[Hawkwind]]'' and the ''[[Dragonaut]]''.

; {{anchor|Inhibitor's Glass}}Inhibitor's Glass: Inhibitor's Glass stops those touching it from using Silimatic technology or Smedry Talents. It may have been used by librarians to stop messaging to and from [[Tuki Tuki]].

; {{anchor|Reinforcer's Glass}}Reinforcer's Glass

; {{anchor|Transporter's Glass}}Transporter's Glass: Transporter's Glass is used in pairs. When activated at the exact same time, it can instantly swap the locations of two objects, usually glass boxes, that have exactly same size.{{book ref|a3|5}} If more than two identically sized transporter's boxes are activated at the same time, the occupants would be killed.

;Unknown: A type of glass used to warn of Librarian illusions in the ''[[Penguinator]]'''s cockpit.{{book ref|a5|Trillian}}

== Oculators Powering Silimatic Technology ==
During his time in [[Nalhalla]], Alcatraz discovers that Oculators can power Silimatic technology without brightsand.{{book ref|a3|14}} The amount of brightsand required to power it, though, correlates to how much of the Oculator's power is used.

== Silimatic Lenses ==
Lenses are only usable by [[Oculator]]s, unless they are forged in the blood of an Oculator, such as the ones used by the [[Scrivener's Bones]]. [[Dark Oculator]]s sometimes use a monocle instead of the classic glasses shape, in order to focus the lens' power. Powerful oculators can use different lenses in each eye, and exceptionally skilled oculators can push power through multiple sets of lenses, up to 7 or 8, causing them to hover in front of one another. The oculator can choose between using all of them at once, or firing off alternating blasts of power. {{book ref|a5|Trillian}}

They are generally tinted baby blue.{{book ref|a2|1}}
