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 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.[1]
- 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.[1] Very difficult to break, even with a Talent.[2]
- 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.[3]
- Grappler's Glass
- Clings to other surfaces, influencing gravity--used on the bottoms of boots to enable people to walk up surfaces. Often used by Alcatraz to walk on SIimatic vehicles such as the Hawkwind and Dragonaut
- 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 Talents
- Shielder's Glass
- Messenger's Glass
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 only use a monocle, instead of the classic glasses shape, in order to focus the lens' power. Lenses include:
- Warrior's Lenses
- Enhances the wearers physical abilities. This is one of the only lenses that a non-oculator can use.
- Oculator's Lenses
- Allow Oculators to see/sense oculations or more generally they show you things that you need to see.[4]
- 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.[1] 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.[5] They are tinted yellow.[6]
- 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.[7] Five seconds of use causes the target permanent harm.[8]
- Windstormer's Lenses
- Create gusts of wind that blow away from the Oculator. Leavenworth uses them to create a bubble of calm winds around the wielder, but this is extremely difficult. The Lenses are tinted green.[9]
- 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.[10] The user mentally hears the voice of the other Oculator and sees a hologram of their upper body. They are generally tinted baby blue.[9]
- Discerner's Lenses
- Tell the wearer how old something is in the form of a glow that grows duller the older the object is.[11]
- Shocker's Lenses
- Emit a beam of light that knocks anyone looking at the user unconscious. Very difficult to use.[12]
- Harrier's Lenses
- Presumably powerful.[13]
- 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.[2][5]
- Oracle's Lenses
- Those lenses allowed the user to glimpse into the future. Attica Smedry used them to foresee where Alcatraz will be living on his 13th birthday.[5]
