{{for|Dor}}
When Odium Splintered Devotion and Dominion, he trapped 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
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
Magic systems fuelled by the Dor include [[AonDor]] (from [[Arelon]]), [[ChayShan]] (from [[JinDo]]), [[Dakhor]] (from [[Fjordell]]), [[Forgery]] (from [[MaiPon]]) and [[Bloodsealing]] (from [[Dzhamar]]). The power of them grows weaker the further one is from the "home ground" of the magic system.{{book ref|Elantris|62}} However, they still have considerable range -- for example, Forgery and Bloodsealing are usable throughout the entire [[Rose Empire]] rather than only in their home regions

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.

Little is known about the early history of Dominion.
Following their destruction, the [[Investiture]] of Devotion and Dominion was pushed into the [[Cognitive Realm]], creating the [[Dor]]. Though this was done to prevent the power from ever finding its way into hands of sapient creatures again, it seems as though the Dor itself has begun to attain sentience.{{au ref|Sel}}

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, he continues to have magical effects on Sel. As [[Dor]], he makes the Selish [[Cognitive Realm]] exceptionally dangerous to travel through.{{au ref|Sel}} His [[splinter]]s, the [[skaze]], continue to have political power over Fjordell.{{wob ref|6167}}
