== Intent ==
Since Dominion was Splintereddestroyed well before any other known events on Sel,{{wob ref|5021}} it is somewhat unclear exactly how the Shard's intent would drive its Vessel to act. BasedThe ononly thetrace name,of however,him Dominion'sare Vesselhis would likely encourage people to seek power. The[[splinter]]s, [[skaze]], which are Splinters of Dominion, are "thirsty for power" as a result of their relationship with the Shard;{{wob ref|6167}} that relationship is also likely responsible for, drivingand themdriven to maintain influence over the politics of [[Fjordell]].{{wob ref|46416167}} This suggests that Dominion's focus was amassing and maintaining control over others.

=== The Dor ===
{{for|Dor}}
 
When Odium Splintered Devotion and Dominion, he trapped their power in the [[Cognitive Realm]] to prevent them from gaining another Vessel. The power of the two Shards is thus trapped together as a giant, polarized storm of [[Investiture]], known as the [[Dor]], which makes the Cognitive Realm around Sel very dangerous.{{wob ref|2546}}{{au ref|Sel}} This has a profound effect on the magic systems of Sel.
 
Since the powers are trapped together, all magic systems are influenced in some way by both Shards.{{wob ref|9830}} Perhaps more importantly, because location exists in the Cognitive Realm, magic is tied to the user's physical location.{{wob ref|1625}}{{au ref|Sel}} In order to access a magic system, it also appears one must be from the land associated with that magic system.{{wob ref|2173}} All the magic systems of Sel share reliance on shape; specific shapes, based on the homelands of the magic systems, are used to access the Dor and thus perform magical effects.{{book ref|Elantris|49}}{{tes ref|30}}
 
Magic systems fuelled by the Dor include [[AonDor]] (from [[Arelon]]), [[ChayShan]] (from [[JinDo]]), [[Dakhor]] (from [[Fjordell]]), [[Forgery]] (from [[MaiPon]]) and [[Bloodsealing]] (from [[Dzhamar]]). The power of them grows weaker the further one is from the "home ground" of the magic system.{{book ref|Elantris|62}} However, they still have considerable range -- for example, Forgery and Bloodsealing are usable throughout the entire [[Rose Empire]] rather than only in their home regions.{{tes ref|30}}
 
=== Skaze ===
{{for|Skaze}}
 
The [[skaze]] are [[splinter]]s of Dominion, and consider him as something of a god or parent.{{wob ref|4547}}{{wob ref|3024}} They are in some ways an inverse of the [[seon]]s, though they assume similar shape and size -- round, about as large as a melon. Unlike seons, they are all black, seeming to suck light from their surroundings rather than emitting it. They also lack an [[Aon]] in their center; rather, they are ringed by a pattern of misty symbols. They are reliant on humans, though it's unclear precisely how.{{book ref|elantris|part=postscript}}
 
Skaze are power-hungry and controlling. They maintain a heavy level of influence over the politics of [[Fjordell]], and were at least partially involved in the plan to wipe out [[Elantris]].{{wob ref|6167}}{{book ref|elantris|62}} The exact powers they possess is unknown.

Little is known about the early history of Dominion. The Shard was created at the [[Shattering of Adonalsium]] and taken up by [[Skai]] who, for unknown reason, took it to [[Sel]] alongside [[Aona]]'s [[Devotion]].{{msh ref|3|2}}{{au ref|Sel}} They were not heavily involved in the creation of local cultures; however, they still ended up passively influencing them. Eventually, [[Odium]] came along and splintered both Shards, effectively killing them.{{au ref|Sel}}
 
Following their destruction, the [[Investiture]] of Devotion and Dominion was pushed into the [[Cognitive Realm]], creating the [[Dor]]. Though this was done to prevent the power from ever finding its way into hands of sapient creatures again, it seems as though the Dor itself has begun to attain sentience.{{au ref|Sel}}

When Odium Splintered Devotion and Dominion, he trapped their power in the [[Cognitive Realm]] to prevent them from gaining another Vessel. Since, unlike in the [[Spiritual Realm]], space is limited in the Cognitive Realm, the power of the two Shards is trapped together as a giant, polarized, storm of [[Investiture]], known as the [[Dor]], which makes the Cognitive Realm around Sel very dangerous.{{wob ref|2546}}{{au ref|Sel}} This has a profound effect on the magic systems on Sel, in two main ways. First, since the powers are trapped together, all magic systems are influenced in some way by both Shards.{{wob ref|9830}} Second, and perhaps more importantly, because location exists in the Cognitive Realm, magic is tied to the user's physical location.{{wob ref|1625}}{{au ref|Sel}} This is seen most dramatically with [[AonDor]], as the strength of Aons diminishes as one gets farther from [[Elantris]].{{book ref|Elantris|62}} Furthermore, in order to access a magic system, it appears one must be from the land associated with that magic system.{{wob ref|2173}} For likely the same reason, shapes used in accessing magic on Sel are often tied to the lands associated with that magic.{{book ref|Elantris|49}}{{tes ref|30}}

Though the two Shards of Sel weren't directly involved in the human civillizations of the planet, the discovery of their powers drove their development regardless. The magic systems they inspired were fundamental in the development of local writing systems and languages, and heavily impacted the local cultures.{{au ref|Sel}} In the present times, this influence is most pervasive in the form of [[Shu-Dereth]], the state religion of [[Fjordell]], though its god [[Jaddeth]] is also slightly inspired by [[Devotion]].{{wob ref|783}}
The skaze are Splinters of Dominion,{{wob ref|5540}}{{wob ref|4547}} and have at least some sense that they came from something larger and how they were created, which causes them to consider Dominion as something of a god or parent.{{wob ref|3024}}
 
Though it's unknown how much -- if anything -- of Dominion's original self remains, he continues to have magical effects on Sel. As [[Dor]], he makes the Selish [[Cognitive Realm]] exceptionally dangerous to travel through.{{au ref|Sel}} His [[splinter]]s, the [[skaze]], continue to have political power over Fjordell.{{wob ref|6167}}
Dominion's Investiture also seems to be allowing [[Wyrn (title)|Wyrn]] [[Wulfden the Fourth]] some ability to see the future.{{wob ref|4682}}

* In ''[[wikipedia:Magic: The Gathering|Magic: The Gathering]]'' colors, Dominion would be black/white.{{wob ref|11057}}
Since Dominion was Splintered so long ago, very little is known about it. Since the Shards had a general agreement to part after the Shattering,{{epigraph ref|ob|39}} it seems likely that Skai had some sort of relationship with [[Aona]], the Vessel of Devotion, as the two went to Sel together. The only confirmed references to Dominion and Skai are in the [[letters]] [[Hoid]] has been sending asking for help combating Odium, the responses he has received, and Khriss' essay on the Selish system.{{epigraph ref|wok|22}}{{epigraph ref|ob|37}}{{au ref|Sel}}
