==[[Realmatic Theory|Realmatics of Forgery]]==
Forgery involves the use of [[Investiture]] present in the [[Dor]] accessed through a medium of a [[soulstamp]]. The seal on the soulstamp acts as the [[focus]] through the specific symbols carved upon it.{{wob ref|1083}} Like other [[Sel]]ish magic systems, Forgery uses a series of symbols that represent linguistic concepts applied with a variety of modifiers to encode the [[Intention]] of a given action into the focus directly. Though the Selish magics are often considered to use the concept of 'form' as their focus, it is more correct to think of these symbols as being a type of programming language using symbolic representation.{{
Forgery utilizes a relatively small amount of Investiture in comparison to many other systems. As such, Forgers do not seem to be particularly Invested in ways that manifest outwardly, like the highly Invested [[Elantrian]]s or the [[Dahkor]] Monks.{{qa ref|1034|28}}{{qa ref|1047|12}} Another side effect of this is that Forgery has difficulty affecting Invested objects, though the unusual nature of Forgery has a number of loopholes available to it that offset that particular issue.{{wob ref|7007}}
The innate Investiture present in the materials to carve and ink a soulstamp seem to have a positive correlation to the ability of the stamp to take.{{tes ref|3}} The amount of Investiture present in soulstone is unknown, but Forgery ink is known to function better with organic materials as physical mediums, with inks from more complex creatures (suspected to correlate to innate Investiture from [[Adonalsium]] upon creation) being more effective at aiding a seal in taking.
Forgery shares a number of Realmatic similarities with other forms of magic. As with all Selish magics, it is powered by the Dor, limited by location, limited by bloodline, and encoded with symbols in a programmatic fashion. {{qa ref|979|14}}{{
