Silimatic technologies use glass made from different types of sand to produce differing effects. Silimatic glasses can be used by anyone, but lenses can only be used by Oculators. Alcatraz Smedry has drawn parallels between Silimatic technologies and Smedry Talents 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.

Bright Sand

Bright Sand 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. Bright sand powers most silimatic technology.

Dull sand

Dull Sand 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.

The Sands of Rashid

The sands of Rashid are among the rarest of known sands and can be used to make translator's lenses. The Sands of Rashid were promised as an inheritance to Alcatraz Smedry upon his birth by his father, and were delivered to him on his thirteenth birthday. Before this, it was believed to be impossible to gather enough sand to forge Rashid lenses.

Silimatic Glass

Types of glass include the following:

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.

Builder's Glass

Builder's Glass is used as a building material. It is not as strong as Restoring 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.. In extreme cases, this glass can communicate one way with ordinary glass, and it can also be set to transmit one way.

Defender's Glass

Defender's Glass protects structures that are inside it. It is extremely strong.

Detonator's Glass

Detonator's Glass explodes. It can be set to go off within a certain area.

Enforcer's Glass

Enforcer's Glass is impossible to break, even with a Smedry Talent. It is used to make handcuffs.

Expander's Glass

Expander's Glass allows the inside of a structure or object built within it to be bigger than its outside. It is deep lavender in color. It is very difficult to break, even with a Talent.

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.

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.

Illuminator's Glass

Illuminator's Glass is the fan-given name of the glass used to illuminate the trunk of clothes Alcatraz was trying on.

Messenger's Glass

Messenger's Glass is used as a means of communication. The Librarians destroyed Mokia's supply of Messenger's 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.

Rebuilder's Glass

Recognizer's Glass

Reinforcer's Glass

Restoring Glass

Restoring Glass easily shatters at the touch of an Oculator, but restores itself when the Oculator moves away from it. It is incredibly strong otherwise. It is black in color.

Sentinel's Glass

Shielder's Glass

Snarer's Glass

Snarer's Glass is Used for traps. However, each square can only be triggered one time.

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.. 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.

Silimatic Lenses

Lenses are only usable by Oculators, unless they are forged in the blood of an Oculator, such as the ones used by the Scrivener's Bones. Dark Oculators 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.

Lenses include:

Bestower's Lenses

Bestower's Lenses allow you to temporarily give someone an attribute of yours, such as strength, feelings, hunger, injuries, talents, Smedry Talents, etc. They are tinted green and purple.

Concussor's Lenses

Concussor's Lens shoot a beam of light which, when it smashes into a target, will knock them back and render them unconscious for a few hours. This lens is used by Attica Smedry in his infiltration of the Highbrary. Their tint is currently unknown.

Courier's Lenses

Courier's Lenses allow short-range communication between two Oculators when both of them are wearing them; however, Alcatraz managed to extend that range by pushing more power into the Lenses. The user mentally hears the voice of the other Oculator and sees a hologram of their upper body. They are generally tinted baby blue.

Tracker's Lenses

Tracker's Lenses are some of the easiest Lenses to use. They allow the user to track the footprints of other people. Everyone has a unique footprint, and the longer the user knows a person, the longer their footprints stay visible. Family, however, is who one knows best, so their footprints stay a very long time, no matter how little the user thinks they know them. They are tinted yellow.

Translator's Lenses (Lenses of Rashid)
