Bad placement of the wob. Also, I am removing the very bizarre one-line prerequisite section that had no real content and merging this with Process, as was pretty clearly intended from the prose

'''Bloodsealing''' is a manifestation of [[Investiture]] practiced by the '''Bloodsealers''' of [[Dzhamar]] on the planet [[Sel]].{{tes ref|42}} Much like the better known [[Forgery]], Bloodsealing makes use of stamps to create Bloodseals,{{tes ref|76}} runes powered by the Investiture of the [[Dor]] which can create a range of magical effects.{{tes ref|3}} However, that is where the similarities end. Instead of the conventional organic inks of Forgery, Bloodsealers make use of human blood as the ink in their stamp.
== Process ==
In order for a Bloodsealer to access the [[Dor]] a few things have to occur. It appears that Bloodsealers have to be [[Dzhamarian]]. The specific processes and restrictions of Bloodsealing, as well as any limits to its capabilities, are so far unknown but a few constants and hints appear. The use of a stamp seems to be required, as well as the blood of a human being which is being sealed.{{tes ref|3}}{{wob ref|12557}} The Bloodseals themselves do not necessarily have to be made from bones, but that is their typical material.{{wob ref|12555}} The type of bone as well as the location that it comes from can be relevant to the Bloodseal, but it is not strictly necessary.{{wob ref|12556}} In addition, while human blood has always been used so far, it is also unknown if the blood of an animal will suffice to create a Bloodseal. Another rule is that the blood being used must be fresh, harvested from the person within the past twenty-four hours.{{tes ref|98}} After this time period, the blood grows stale and fresh blood must be used in order to perform additional Bloodsealing.{{tes ref|5}} Right before the stamp loses power, it will begin to dim,{{tes ref|17}} before pulsing and eventually vanishing.{{tes ref|98}}
From here, evidence of Bloodsealing is based more on hearsay and rumor than actual evidence. There is some talk of the usefulness of a man's hair, nails, and personal effects in Bloodsealing.{{tes ref|97}} [[Shai]] claims that they would not be terribly helpful in Bloodsealing and there is no mention of their function or how they would be put to use. In addition to this, there are indications that the skeletons of specific people may be more useful than others in crafting [[skeletal]]s, although again how and why are unknown.{{tes ref|3}}
