Urithiru displays a number of unusual properties that allow humans to survive despite its high altitude. It is believed that these systems are somehow powered by or related to the spren known as the [[Sibling]].{{epigraph ref|sa3|87}} However, at some point the Sibling withdrew from mankind and currently slumbers.{{epigraph ref|sa3|70}}{{book ref|sa3|111}} This may explain why many of Urithiru's systems are currently non-functional.{{wob ref|9498}} Among those are heightened pressure, increased temperature, and general conditions encouraging plant growth.{{epigraph ref|sa3|69}}
 
Functioning fabrial systems include those for increased pressure{{epigraph ref|sa3|69}}, temperature{{book ref|sa3|53}}, and general conditions encouraging plant growth.{{epigraph ref|sa3|69}} Navani also theorizes that the air circulating through various shafts is powered by some sort of fabrial.{{epigraph ref|sa3|28}} In addition, the [[fabrial]] elevators connecting Urithiru's floors begin running when gemstones are inserted.{{book ref|sa3|8}} The gems in the [[Urithiru gem archive|gem archive]] which preserve recordings of human voices might also be considered fabrials.{{book ref|sa3|53}}
