Interview: Sep, 2012
Cosmere Q&A - 17th Shard (Verbatim)rags
You have told us there are more than 30 magical systems on Roshar. I am assuming there are 10 surgebindings and 10 voidbindings. Do the next 10 belong to another such classification? If yes, can you give us the name for it.Brandon Sanderson
Fabrials are part of it.Tags

Reddit AMA 2013 (Verbatim)Kurkistan
Are Conjoiner fabrials sensitive enough that pairs of them attached to taught membranes could work as telephones (conjoiner-phones?)?
Brandon Sanderson
Yes. (Though this is somewhat far off, technologically, for the people on Roshar.)

WOR Signing Table Q&A (Verbatim)RIT
Alright, glowing Shardplate and retractable helmets. Is that a similar origin of the Shardblades—Brandon Sanderson
There's a similarity, but they are also very different.
RIT
Yeah, I noticed they do seem like advanced fabrials, because Adolin just keeps going on and on about how they're all interchangeable and how they all feel comfortable after a while, and it doesn't have the same kind of thing with the Shardblades.
Brandon Sanderson
No, it doesn't. Though a Shardblade, used for a long time, will change shape slightly.

WoR Signing Report - Talenelat (Verbatim)QUESTION
For a Windrunner, if he had enough heating fabrials and enough Stormlight, how high up could he get?
BRANDON SANDERSON
You could exit orbit. Windrunners, remember they're gravitation and pressure. So if he knew what he was doing, we have actually factored how long it would take to get to the various moons.

Do synthetic gemstones work in fabrials too?Brandon Sanderson
Synthetic gemstones should work. It's a combination of color and chemical structure that's important. Just like metals from off Scadrial would work for an Allomancer, synthetic gemstones should work.Tags

WOR Signing Table Q&A (Verbatim)Question
Is the surge "cohesion," that we haven't really seen much, strong axial, is that related to the fabrials for the half-shards?Brandon Sanderson
Aha! Um, I'm gonna RAFO. It's not me not knowing the answer, it's me not knowing if I should say or not. I will RAFO that, because I don't want to get into that too much right now.Tags

WOR Signing Table Q&A (Verbatim)Leiyan
I'm guessing it's a RAFO, but why do Honorblades work the way they do?Brandon Sanderson
Honorblades were crafted before Shardblades existed--
Leiyan
So they were crafted.
Brandon Sanderson
They were crafted before Shardblades existed, and all Shardblades that exist came about as certain individuals trying to find out how to copy Honorblades.
Leiyan
So would it be fair to say that Honorblades are analagous to fabrials in some sense? Trap spren in a crystal yada yada Stormlight power?
Brandon Sanderson
There is an analogy there, that I think would pass the SAT's rigor for analogies.

Question
How many magic systems are in The Stormlight Archive, and how many of them [have been seen?]Brandon Sanderson
I would see the only major one you haven’t seen is Voidbinding, it depends on how you count them. I count fabrials as one, Surgebinding as one, and Voidbinding as one. And then the Old Magic is kind of its own weird thing.Tags

With reversals fabrials, if one fell and sat on the ground will the other one continue to rise due to the gravity affecting the one on the ground?Brandon Sanderson
No, good question.Tags

Shadows of Self - Lansing, MI (Paraphrased)Blaze1616
This is about fabrials. In Elantris, you mention that the Elantrians have these Aon Tia plates. Using the same technique to make those plates, is it possible for Elantrians to make portable fabrials?Brandon Sanderson
That...yes, that would be possible. But remember, the plates would get weaker the further from Elantris you get.Tags
