|You look at things as a human, young master. You see rank and distinction; you try to order the world so that everything has a place either above you or beneath you. To a seon, there is no above or beneath. There are only those we love. And we serve those we love.
== Powers and Abilities ==
As [[Splinter]]s of a [[Shard]] of [[Adonalsium]], seons are a sapient form of [[Investiture]] and possess several magical qualities. They are immortal.{{wob ref|3885}} They generate their own light and have control over their brightness, to the point that they can become nearly invisible.{{book ref|Elantris|32}} They move by floating and seem to be able to change their speed and altitude quickly.{{book ref|Elantris|32}} They can even reach speeds that are faster than a galloping horse.{{book ref|Elantris|29}} They are able to mimic human speech and mannerisms, which they may have perfected over time.{{book ref|Elantris|5}} Their senses are superior to those of humans.{{book ref|Elantris|32}} They have an innate sense of direction and can point the way to any place they have ever been.{{book ref|Elantris|32}}{{book ref|Elantris|62}} They cannot be harmed by conventional means.{{wob ref|7439}}
They are able to link to each other over long distances to allow their masters to communicate instantly. This ability seems to function similarly in the [[Physical Realm]] and the [[Cognitive Realm]], and seons are therefore one of the few ways to instantaneously communicate between the realms.{{book ref|sa4|20}}{{book ref|sa4|115}} They can temporarily transform into a three-dimensional image of the person speaking on the other end of the link.{{book ref|Elantris|2}}{{book ref|Elantris|12}} The image shows only the person's features and not anything else in their surroundings.{{book ref|Elantris|2}} It is not clear if they can transform for any other purpose.
Although [[Sel]]ish magic generally does not function properly away from Sel,{{wob ref|6164}} seons are capable of traveling to another planet.{{wob ref|736}} Their ability to leave the planet is somehow related to the unusual properties of Investiture on Sel, and does not necessarily apply to similar magical beings.{{wob ref|14522}} The [[Ghostbloods]] were able to bring at least two seons to [[Roshar]], including [[Ala]].{{book ref|sa4|115}}

|[[Ala]], to [[Shallan]]{{book ref|sa4|115}}
}}
Around 1167, Shallan
The [[Ghostbloods]] were able to bring at least two seons to [[Roshar]] through unknown means. [[Ala]] was kept in captivity and given to [[Shallan Davar]] inside of a special cube for use as a communication device with [[Mraize]], who possessed an unknown seon. Ala, who seemed traumatized by the Ghostbloods, was eventually freed by Shallan with assistance from [[Kalak]].{{book ref|sa4|115}} [[Hoid]], who was also on Roshar during this time, possessed his own unknown seon that he used to communicate with [[Pattern]] through Ala.{{book ref|sa4|78}} After Ala was released, Hoid informed Shallan of the nature of seons and the rarity of finding one that was not bound to someone. Ala then remained with Shallan.{{book ref|sa4|115}}
