|The Sibling{{book ref|sa4|49}}
}}
The Sibling's original fabrial was considered part of their being. It was one of a number of fabrials that were integral to the defenses of Urithiru, and took many years to perfect.{{book ref|sa4|111}} It was created to prevent Fused and potentially the Unmade from entering the tower.{{book ref|sa4|49}} The fabrial seems to have functioned well throughout the [[Desolation]]s, as the Fused were well aware of its effects.{{book ref|sa4|37}} During the [[False Desolation]], the imprisonment of [[Ba-Ado-Mishram]] ripped out theboth [[Connection]] ofand [[Identity]] from the [[singer]]s;{{book ref|sa3|17}} this had unintended consequences, including injuring the Sibling such that they could no longer create the Towerlight that fueled Urithiru's systems, including the fabrial.{{book ref|sa4|49}}
 
At some point (presumably during the [[Heraldic Epochs]]), the Fused scholar Raboniel was able to somehow study the Sibling's defenses, and she discovered the underlying technology of the suppression fabrial.{{book ref|sa4|14}} The Sibling was aware of Raboniel's level of knowledge, and was afraid of her.{{book ref|sa4|40}} Around the time of the [[Last Desolation]], Raboniel was thought to have gone mad, and was compelled to stay asleep indefinitely. However, after the other Fused returned to Roshar during the True Desolation, they were able to build an unknown number of prototype suppression fabrials based on her research, and nearly perfected them.{{book ref|sa4|14}}
Despite Navani's knowledge of fabrials, the design of the Fused fabrial baffled her at first, although she noted its similarities to the garnets in the Sibling's crystal pillar.{{book ref|sa4|9}} She had [[Rushu]] and other top scholars study the fabrial; they were able to identify the Enlightened spren in the fabrial, although it refused to interact with them. By this time, Navani assumed that the fabrial in the pillar was also a suppression device, but she could still not figure out how to activate it.{{book ref|sa4|19}}
 
Around the same time, Raboniel unexpectedly reappeared and immediately proposed a plan to the [[Nine]] to invert the Sibling's fabrial and invade Urithiru. Although the council was somewhat skeptical at first, they allowed Raboniel to proceedsucceed.{{book ref|sa4|14}} After testing the edges of the tower's defenses, Raboniel and her strike team were able to infiltrate the tower and reach the crystal pillar room.{{book ref|sa4|37}}{{book ref|sa4|38}} The Sibling was aware of the incursion, but could not strengthen the fabrial enough to keep the Fused out.{{book ref|sa4|49}} With a great deal of effort, Raboniel was able to break through the Sibling's resistance and infuse the pillar with Voidlight, targeting the suppression fabrial first.{{book ref|sa4|38}} Her inversion of the fabrial suppressed the use of Stormlight, leaving the tower's Radiants unconscious. Navani suggested a last-ditch effort to recapture the pillar room and fix the fabrial,{{book ref|sa4|40}} but the plan failed despite a noble effort by [[Teofil]] and his squad.{{book ref|sa4|42}} [[Dalinar]] and other Radiants who were away from the tower could not approach it without losing their powers.{{book ref|sa4|50}}{{book ref|sa4|71}}
 
Navani was captured, but she was able to speak to the Sibling, who explained what Raboniel had done.{{book ref|sa4|49}} After working with Raboniel to make several research breakthroughs regarding the nature of [[Lights]], Navani was able to convince the Sibling to form a [[Nahel bond]] with her, making Navani a [[Bondsmith]] and restoring the pair's ability to create Towerlight. She was able to force the Voidlight out of the Sibling's system using the [[Lights#The_Tones|tone]] of [[Anti-Voidlight]], and her practical knowledge of fabrials allowed her to immediately return the suppression fabrial to its original purpose, surprising the Fused and restoring control of the tower to the coalition.{{book ref|sa4|110}}{{book ref|sa4|111}}
