== Investiture ==
Each manifestation of [[Investiture]] on Sel use symbols, shapes, or forms to access the [[Dor]]. Influenced by the present [[shard]] [[Devotion]] and [[Dominion]]'s [[intent]]s, they share several common features. They usually draw power from [[Dor]]. Each of them relates to a specific region: only people native to the region can use the magic, and the further from the place, the weaker the magic becomes. The map of the region is also often used as the form of the magic.
* [[AonDor]] uses symbols called Aons, which can be drawn directly in the air as glowing light, or in a large variety of physical representations, such as etched into metal plates, or incorporated into the design of buildings. Anyone can learn to draw Aons, but they only have power when created by an Elantrian. AonDor is tied to the land of Arelon and is only practiced within its borders. Aons work elsewhere but become weaker with distance from Arelon.
* [[ChayShan]] is not explored much in ''Elantris'', however it seems to consist of a type of meditative martial art practiced in [[JinDo]], with the forms one moves through granting access to the Dor. It appears that, like Aons, these forms can be practiced by anyone without supernatural effect{{book ref|Elantris|17}}, with additional factors such as intent or bloodline establishing the connection to the Dor.
