• GLASS & GOLD: The devices themselves are crafted of gold and glass, visually, preferably with sort of art deco-style curves and form. Globes and sea-shell-type fluting are the order of the day with these objects. These devices have no obvious "controls", as they are interfaced with via thavaqan implants.

• IMPLANTS: Thevaqan devices are controlled solely through "communion embedments" - "seeds" of thevaqan that are implanted beneath the skin, which then grows "roots" into the body, granting the user the ability to interact with certain devices.

• COMMUNION LIGHT: When an embedment is in communion with a device, the embedment generates a field of light. Practically speaking, this creates a type of "hologram" made of golden light around the wielder that provides a "UI" for the wielder to manipulate, in order to operate the device.

• IMANI: Thevaqan devices often utilize "batteries" crafted of glass to resemble cabochon jewels. They have a threaded pattern of thevaqan at their heart, and the whole thing serves as a battery, storing up sunlight energy to power devices at night or when they are not in full, direct sunlight. They are recharged by mounting them to wall units connected to light-collecting arrays in that building or ship. Their power is measured in "hours" (as in "hours of light"), regaining one "charge" for each such hour. Most hold four hours of light when fully charged, with rarer examples holding higher charges.
