Deep inside the tower, there is a large monolith crystal pillar that serves as the Sibling's heart.{{book ref|sa4|111}} It is made of thousands of different gems.{{book ref|sa4|38}}{{book ref|sa3|30}} The pillar is where the Sibling is most exposed, and is where they can be bonded or corrupted.{{book ref|sa4|38}}{{book ref|sa4|69}} While functioning normally, the pillar glows the color of Towerlight.{{book ref|sa4|38}} If the Sibling is being corrupted with Voidlight, the color will darken.{{book ref|sa4|105}} The Voidlight and corruption can be pushed out by the rhythm of [[anti-Voidlight]].{{book ref|sa4|110}}
In order to protect the crystal pillar, [[Melishi]] created a blue barrier that can surround it.{{book ref|sa4|40}}{{book ref|sa4|61}} This is done by giving four sapphire fabrial nodes hidden throughout the tower that require Stormlight.{{book ref|sa4|42}}{{book ref|sa4|56}} The barrier is strong enough to stop humans, singers, and even [[Unmade]] from breaching it.{{book ref|sa4|42}} It even has a way of silencing itself to [[Fused]].{{book ref|sa4|56}} It can also be used to corrupt and unmake the Sibling remotely by infusing the nodes with Voidlight.{{book ref|sa4|42}} Since it was added later, the fabrial does not connect to the entirety of the tower.{{book ref|sa4|56}}
The shield is made using the Surge of [[Surgebinding#Transformation|Transformation]]; [[Soulcasting]] air and persuading it that it is glass.{{book ref|sa4|49}} When attacked, the section of the shield will evaporate and will then restore itself almost immediately.{{book ref|sa4|61}} Each node is accompanied by a glass globe, wrapped in metal wires.{{book ref|sa4|59}} The globes have a reproduction of the crystal pillar room inside them, which helps the Soulcasting think the air around it is glass.{{book ref|sa4|61}} This makes the Soulcasting not a full transformation, but more of a half transformation. It needs a constant stream of Stormlight via the nodes to keep functioning, and takes in much more than a typical fabrial of its size.{{book ref|sa4|49}}{{book ref|sa4|42}} If a node is destroyed, the shield will weaken.{{book ref|sa4|40}} The more it is weakened and corrupted, the more its color goes from bright blue to dark violet.{{book ref|sa4|92}} If all four are destroyed, the shield will be destroyed.{{book ref|sa4|49}}{{book ref|sa4|105}}
