The '''Skaze''' are [[Splinter]]s of [[Dominion]] that live on [[Sel]].{{au ref|sel}}{{wob ref|date=2016-06-29|4547|White Sand vol.1 Orem signing}} The Skaze have many similarities to the [[Seon]]s that also live on Sel. Like the Seons, they appear as sentient floating spheres of energy that can converse with humans. Unlike the Seons, however, the Skaze are very rarely seen or discussed during the events of ''[[Elantris]]''.
== Appearance and composition ==
While the Seons glow with light and have an [[Aon]] at their center, the Skaze are described as dark, seeming to suck in the light around them, with indistinct edges that blend into the air.{{book ref|Elantris|part=postscript}} Skaze also have a ring around their sphere with a "pattern of misty symbols".{{book ref|Elantris|part=postscript}} The Skaze have some relationship to and may be named after Dominion's [[Vessel]] [[Skai]].{{qa ref|691|30|Skaze are ...|date=May, 2010}} This is similar to the relationship of Seons to [[Devotion]]'s Vessel, [[Aona]].{{qa ref|949|5|AMOL Signing Report - Viper|date=2013-02-06}}
== Disposition ==
They had a large amount of influence in the politics of [[Fjordell]]{{qa ref|590|45|What's Wyrns motivation to topple Elantris?|date=May, 2010}} and strongly influenced the [[Dakhor]].{{qa ref|510|44|The purification rites are mostly ritualistic|date=Apr 28th, 2010}} ▼
Most likely due to Dominion's Intent, the Skaze are "pretty thirsty for power".{{wob ref|date=2015-10-12|6167|Shadows of Self Chicago signing}} Brandon has referred to them as "evil Seons".{{qa ref|769|210|Annotation: Raoden and Sarene vs. Dilaf|date=Oct 18th, 2004}}{{qa ref|691|30|Skaze are ...|date=May, 2010}} The Skaze are "reliant upon humankind"{{book ref|Elantris|part=postscript}}, but it is not known if they have masters like the Seons. It is unknown if the Skaze were affected by the [[Reod]].

{{theory}}
[[Raoden]] notices "ancient [[Fjordell]] characters" seemingly carved into a bone retrieved from a dead Dakhor monk.{{book ref|Elantris|63}} Based on the nature of [[AonDor]] and other Selish [[Investiture]], it is very likely that these glyphs are related to the magical powers of the Dakhor. Assuming that Skaze and Dakhor are both of Dominion, then the symbols seen on the "halo" around the Skaze may be the same glyphs, much like Aons appear inside each Seon.
[[Odium]] visited Sel in the past{{article ref|The Letter}} and the description of the Skaze as dark to the point of sucking in light is very similar to some small [[black sphere]]s related to Odium that are seen on Roshar. However, Brandon has noted that Odium did not leave his own power on Sel{{wob ref|4129}} and also that Selish magic usually does not work well away from Sel,{{wob ref|6157}} so this may simply be a coincidence.
