'''Dominion''' is a [[Shard]] of [[Adonalsium]] once held by [[Skai]].{{wob ref|9990}}{{wob ref|783}} After the [[Shattering]], hethey traveled to [[Sel]] with [[Devotion]], where both were [[Splinter]]ed by [[Odium]].{{epigraph ref|sa1|22}}{{au ref|Sel}}
 
== Intent ==
Since Dominion was destroyed 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. The only trace of himthem are histheir [[splinter]]s, [[skaze]], which are thirsty for power as a result of their relationship with the Shard, and driven to maintain influence over politics of [[Fjordell]].{{wob ref|6167}} This suggests that Dominion's focus was amassing and maintaining control over others.
 
== Associated Magics ==
{{for|Dor}}
 
When Odium Splintered Devotion and Dominion, he trappedlocked 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}}
{{for|Skaze}}
 
The [[skaze]] are [[splinter]]s of Dominion, and consider himSkai as something of a god or parent.{{wob ref|4547}}{{wob ref|3024}} TheyThe skaze 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.
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}}
 
Though it's unknown how much -- if anything -- of Dominion's original self remains, hethey continuescontinue to have magical effects on Sel. As [[Dor]], hethey makesmake the Selish [[Cognitive Realm]] exceptionally dangerous to travel through.{{au ref|Sel}} HisTheir [[splinter]]s, the [[skaze]], continue to have political power over Fjordell.{{wob ref|6167}}
