'''Navani's notebook''' is a series of pages written by the [[Artifabrian]] [[Navani Kholin]] that can be found as interior art in ''[[The Way of Kings]]'', ''[[Words of Radiance]]'' and ''[[Oathbringer]]''. While the originals were transliterated from English into the [[women's script]], they have been translated into the English by fans.{{ref|name=sa1}}{{ref|name=sa2}}{{ref|name=sa3}} Navani uses her notebook as a location to write down many of her ideas in.

Note that in this notebook, Navani refers to a single gem with captured spren as "fabrial", while a combination of one or several gems and setting is referred to as a "machine". In colloquial use, "fabrial" often refers to a complete product. |

=== The Fourth bridge === |

{{image|Navani's Notebook - The Fourth Bridge.jpg|The Fourth bridge|side=right|width=250px}} |
|||
The fourth bridge is not as pretty as my fanciful designs |
|||
but it is thrilling to see the ship coming together |
|||
The final build follows these designs with some |
|||
changes my engineers suggested |
|||
Cutaway showing levels below main deck for carrying people and supplies |
|||
Kaladins old bridge |
|||
embedded in the deck |
|||
Possible design for next iteration of sky carriage |
|||
Main entrance works like a drawbridge |
|||
I hope fans will lessen |
|||
some of the horizontal load |
|||
Maybe add soulcast crystal |
|||
over the top |
|||
Stairs might fold up into a |
|||
table to make space |
|||
Latest tests show we need four fins instead of two wings |
|||
=== The Arnist Method === |
|||
{{image|Navani's Notebook - The Arnist Method.jpg|The Arnist Method|side=right|width=250px}} |
|||
The Arnist method begins with luring the |
|||
Spren to the gem |
|||
For example to attract a |
|||
Flamespren create a fire nearby |
|||
Allow the spren to |
|||
inspect the gem |
|||
Arnist hoop |
|||
Quickly |
|||
drawing out the |
|||
Stormlight |
|||
pulls the Spren |
|||
into the gem |
|||
The Spren becomes trapped inside |
|||
A |
|||
pewter |
|||
cage surrounding |
|||
the gem can be adjusted by |
|||
twisting rods hooked to eyebolts |
|||
The tighter the cage the more heat the fabrial generates |
|||
=== The Crystal Pillar Room === |

=== Dagger === |
|||
{{image|Navani's Notebook - Dagger.jpg|Dagger|side=right|width=250px}} |
|||
Raboniels soul |
|||
harvesting dagger |
|||
Navani: The white gold metal vein down the middle conducts Investiture |
|||
Raboniel called the metal Raysium and says there is not enough in |
|||
this dagger to collect her soul or that of a herald |
|||
I am not sure I believe her |
|||
Raboniel: Navani ís right not to believe. I have given her few reasons to |
|||
trust me after all but in this thing I don't lie |
|||
why give into my enemys hands the means to destroy me? |
|||
Navani: I will proceed with my experiments |
|||
our discovery of Warlight paired with my eventual understanding |
|||
of this dagger might yield a way to stop this war |
|||
Raboniel: Though I think we disagree on what an acceptable end to the war |
|||
actually looks like |
|||
Navani: The ruby is housed in a metal other than Raysium silver maybe? |
|||
Raboniel: I can confirm the metal is not raysium, but a silver- |
|||
nickel alloy and does not affect the daggers function |
|||
Navani: Touching the dagger to |
|||
Half of the ruby does not |
|||
pull out the half spren. |
|||
Cracking one half |
|||
however allows the |
|||
Spren to escape. |
|||
The dagger immediately |
|||
pulls the spren along the |
|||
Raysium vein and into the |
|||
gem at its base |
|||
I suspect the vein of Raysium continues through the daggers |
|||
hilt and somehow attaches to the ruby at its base |
|||
Raboniel: The Raysium vein is removable, reversible and |
|||
conducts Investiture directly to the gemstone |
|||
=== Experiments === |
|||
{{image|Navani's Notebook - Experiments.jpg|Experiments|side=right|width=250px}} |
|||
The Thaylen vacuum tube |
|||
A cracked diamond |
|||
affixed to the end |
|||
might give the exact |
|||
result I am seeking |
|||
The metal caps unscrew |
|||
for versatility in |
|||
experimentation |
|||
A fabrial pump removes the remaining air |
|||
Navani: The rhythms cause patterns in the sand. Different patterns for the |
|||
different kinds of light. There must be an answer of some kind here |
|||
though I wish I could consult a true scholar concerning this |
|||
Raboniel: Now that we have seen where this line of |
|||
exploration has led, I am amazed that you |
|||
were able to extrapolate this |
|||
voice of lights |
|||
Navani: The tones are |
|||
becoming easier for me to hear. I recognise the |
|||
tones of the different kinds of light and struggle to hear if there is something more. |
|||
Raboniel: Your research has yielded great fruits. There was a time I thought it impossible for one |
|||
of your kind to hear the rhythms. How could I have anticipated the magnitude of what |
|||
you have kept hidden from me? I fear I have underestimated you and your kind. |
