'''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 LensesSand ==
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:
; Restoring Glass : Easily shatters at the touch of an Oculator, but restores itself when the Oculator moves away from it. Incredibly strong otherwise. Black in color.{{book ref|a1|4}}
; Builder's Glass
; Expander's Glass : Allows the inside of a structure or object built with it to be bigger than the outside. Deep lavender in color.{{book ref|a1|4}} Very difficult to break, even with a Talent.{{book ref|a1|19}}
; Recognizer's Glass
; Rebuilder's Glass
; Reinforcer's Glass:
; Defender's Glass
; Glass of Alivening
; Sentinel's Glass
; Snarer's Glass : Used for traps, however, each square can only go off once.{{book ref|a1|17}}
; Grappler's Glass : Clings to other surfaces, influencing gravity--used on the bottoms of
; Orientation Glass : Influences the direction of gravity
; Detonator's Glass : Explodes
; Transporter's Glass : When activated, exchanges itself with its pair
; Enforcer's Glass
; Communicator's Glass
; Inhibitor's Glass : Stops those touching it from using Silimatic technology or [[Smedry Talent]]s
; Shielder's Glass
; Messenger's Glass
; [[Alivened|Glass of Alivening]]
 
; {{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.
== Silimatic Lenses ==
 
;Oculator's Lenses: allow [[Oculator]]s to see/sense oculations
; {{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}}
;Tracker's Lenses: Some of the easiest Lenses to use, they allow the user to track peoples' footprints. Everyone has a unique footprint, and the longer the user knows a person, the longer their footprints stay visible.{{book ref|a1|4}} Family, however, is who one knows best, so their footprints say a very long time, no matter how little the user thinks they know them.{{book ref|a1|20}} They are tinted yellow.{{book ref|a1|2}}
 
;Warrior's Lenses: Enhances the wearers physical abilities. This is one of the only lenses that a non-oculator can use.
; {{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}}
;Firebringer's Lenses: Throws a line of fire, almost like a laser, at the target.
 
;Torturer's Lenses: Cause intense agony in the target and make the muscles begin to rip.{{book ref|a1|12}} Five seconds of use causes the target permanent harm.{{book ref|a1|13}}
; {{anchor|Defender's Glass}}Defender's Glass: Defender's Glass protects structures that are inside it. It is extremely strong.
;Windstormer's Lenses: Create gusts of wind that blow away from the Oculator. The Lenses are tinted green.{{book ref|scrivener's bones|1}}
 
;Courier's Lenses: Allow short-range communication between two Oculators when both are wearing them, however, Alcatraz managed to extend that range by pushing more power into the Lenses.{{book ref|scrivener's bones|2}} The user mentally hears the voice of the other Oculator and sees a hologram of their upper body. They are generally tinted baby blue.{{book ref|scrivener's bones|1}}
; {{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}}
;Discerner's Lenses: Tell the wearer how old something is in the form of a glow that grows duller the older the object is.{{book ref|scrivener's bones|8}}
 
;Shocker's Lenses: Emit a beam of light that knocks anyone looking at the user unconscious. Very difficult to use.{{book ref|a1|11}}
; {{anchor|Enforcer's Glass}}Enforcer's Glass: Enforcer's Glass is impossible to break, even with a Smedry Talent.{{book ref|a3|13}} It is used to make handcuffs.{{book ref|a1|17}}
;Harrier's Lenses: Presumably powerful.{{book ref|a1|18}}
 
;Translator's Lenses (Lenses of Rashid): Forged from the Sands of Rashid, which are incredibly rare. Let the wearer understand, read, and write in any language, code, or alphabet.{{book ref|a1|19}}{{book ref|a1|20}}
; {{anchor|Expander's Glass}}Expander's Glass: AllowsExpander's Glass allows the inside of a structure or object built withwithin it to be bigger than theits outside. DeepIt is deep lavender in color.{{book ref|a1|4}} VeryIt is very difficult to break, even with a Talent.{{book ref|a1|19}}
 
; {{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|Illuminator's Glass}}''Illuminator's Glass'': ''Illuminator's Glass'' is an uncanonical name for the glass used to illuminate the trunk of clothes Alcatraz was trying on.{{book ref|a5|1}}
 
; {{anchor|Messenger's Glass}}Messenger's Glass: Messenger's Glass is used as a means of communication. The Librarians destroyed [[Mokia]]'s supply of Messenger's Glass.{{book ref|a4|No!}}
 
; {{anchor|Orientation Glass}}Orientation Glass: Orientation Glass influences the direction of gravity. It is used inside vehicles that might get upside-down.
 
; {{anchor|Protective Glass}}''Protective Glass'': ''Protective Glass'' emits a protective field capable of stopping a full [[Crystin]] punch. The exact name of this glass type is unknown.{{book ref|a5|Bob}}

; {{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.
