For reasons not yet known, Stormlight fades more quickly in Shadesmar than it does in the Physical Realm,{{book ref|sa3|99}} which has led to the development of alternative ways of transporting and transferring Stormlight. The moneychangers in [[Celebrant]], for example, have devices they can use to transfer Stormlight from regular spheres and gemstones into their [[perfect gem]]s{{book ref|sa3|99}} (where it won't fade). In return, they give out notes of exchange{{book ref|sa3|101}}, which can be spent like credits within the city's limits.{{book ref|sa3|99}} The [[Rii Oracle]] possesses a device similar to what the Celebrant moneychangers use, but [[Ico|Captain Ico]] calls it "foreign technology."{{book ref|sa3|99}} |
