'''Silimatic''' technologies use glass made from different types of sand to produce differing effects. Silimatic glass can be used by anyone, but lenses can only be used by [[Oculator]]s. [[Alcatraz Smedry]] has drawn parallels between Silimatic technologies and [[Smedry Talent]]s in the past. He has also been able to increase the power of various Silimatic technologies.

== Silimatic Sand ==
  
−
All types of Silimatic technology are made originally out of sand.

−
;Brightsand: Brightsand is one of the most common types of sand. It lets off a glow that causes other types of sand, or glass, to do strange things. Brightsand powers most silimatic technology.

−
;Dullsand: Dullsand is one of the only types of sand that don't do anything. The librarians have gone to great lengths to cover beaches in it to make sand seem common and boring, and thus of little value. It is possible that non-Silimatic glass is made of dullsand.

== Oculators Powering Silimatic Technology ==
−
During his time in [[Nalhalla]], Alcatraz discovers that Oculators can power Silimatic technology without brightsand.{{book ref|a3|14}} The amount of brightsand required to power it, though, correlates to how much of the Oculator's power is used.
 +
In The Knights of Crystallia, Alcatraz shows that Oculators can power Silimatic Technology without Brightsand. Depending on the amount of Brightsand the glass normally needs, the powering of the glass can be more power-sapping then with less energy-using Silimatics.
