Silk and gems, very little else.
Hazards & Traps
The greatest hazard is the tower itself. When the light from outside is focused inwards, the superheated temperatures become enough to melt metal.
Special Properties
The magical reinforcement of the glass.
The solar absorption relay.
Architecture
The entire building is made of glass of different types, silk fills many corridors
Defenses
Made from magically defensible glass. Can create a beam of super-heated sunlight, and can focus this beam within to destructive degrees.

Major tourist destination
Due to slight magical breezes, and magical fires, the tower is kept at a comfortable temperature (roughly 68-72 degrees f 20 degrees c )
