Navani and her crew of ardents make a breakthrough with Shardblades in realizing that the gemstones in the Blades - used to [[Nahel bond|bond]] them - might not have originally been part of the weapons. If true, it means the Blades aren't powered by the stones. [[Rushu]] had asked why a Shardblade can be summoned and dismissed even if its gemstone has gone dun. If true, artifabrians are back to knowing absolutely nothing about how Shardblades were crafted. It seems the gemstone's purpose is ''only'' used in initially bonding the Blade - something the [[Knights Radiant|Radiants]] didn't need to do.{{book ref|sa2|67}}

She tells Dalinar of new fabrial invention called an attractor. She remains half afraid that this contraption, filtered with a large glowing garnet suspended within a delicate wire lacework fabrial, will suck the blood out of anyone who touches it. The fabrial pulls moisture from the air , clearing the battlefield of some precipitation and making it possible for archers to better let their arrows fly into the Parshendi ranks, drawing their attention from the beleaguered men on the field.{{book ref|sa2|82}}
 
Once in Urithiru, Navani discovers a fabrial lift. She speaks of counterweights and conjoined gemstones, sounding awed by the technology of the ancients,.{{book ref|sa2|89}}
