'''AonDor''' is a manifestation of [[Investiture]] located on the [[
== Prerequisites ==
Only an [[Elantrian]] can use the [[Aon]]s to draw power from the [[Dor]].{{book ref|Elantris|7}} This means that to use AonDor, a person must originally be of [[Aonic]] descent.{{
It is also possible to form this Connection by being invited into specific groups (presumably Elantrian groups, such as the [[Ire]]), though the exact mechanics of this are not yet known.{{book ref|tress|64}} Someone can also [[Forgery|stamp]] themselves to become an Elantrian.{{book ref|mb7|54}}
== Drawing Aons ==
In order to draw a functional Aon, the Elantrian drawing it must intend to do so, or else the glowing lines used to draw the Aon won’t appear.{{book ref|Elantris|7}} Elantrians can use their fingers to draw Aons, with each finger giving the lines different widths. Other objects like a quill or stick can also be used to draw Aons.{{book ref|Elantris|49}} Aons can also be crafted out of other materials by Elantrians, like stone or wire. In this way they can make amulets and the like, that have an actual magical effect.{{book ref|Elantris|19}} Leaving an Aon alone for a short time without completing it will cause
Each Aon has a unique effect, which is determined by its shape. The Aon "Aon" is the starting point for every other Aon.{{book ref|Elantris|25}} It appears that the energy can only get to the [[Physical Realm]] in certain pulse lengths and frequencies, so an Aon’s shape only allows for a certain frequency to escape, which has a specific effect.{{book ref|Elantris|28}} If an Aon is the wrong shape, it may do nothing, and the Aon will flash once and fade away.{{book ref|Elantris|46}} An Aon drawn incorrectly with an omission of basic lines would begin the process of the Aon, but stop in the middle of the process due to not having enough energy from the Dor.{{book ref|Elantris|25}} Sometimes if it is targeted at a person or group of people, it could cause them to appear like a Reod Elantrian.{{book ref|Elantris|60}} The size of an Aon can affect its power.{{wob ref|8187}} Aons can also be combined together.{{wob ref|663}} Aons can be given more control or strength when the width of the lines match the proper locations that correspond with [[Arelon]].{{book ref|Elantris|49}}
Aons can only be destroyed by an Elantrian. Unless destroyed by an Elantrian an Aon will continue to function even if it is scuffed or erased.{{book ref|Elantris|52}} It is possible for AonDor to negate effects granted by [[Dakhor]].{{wob ref|3014}}
== Aon Equations ==
In extremely advanced uses of AonDor, multiple Aons can be used in conjunction to modify each other in Aon equations.{{
=== Curses ===
It is possible through complex Aon Equations to lay complex curses upon people with specific effects and conditions, even to the point of transforming someone into a completely different species.{{book ref|tress|64}} They can also completely change one's personality,{{book ref|tress|13}} limit their intelligence,{{book ref|tress|24}} and forbid one from being able to speak of their curse or how to break it.{{book ref|tress|24}}{{book ref|tress|61}}
The only known way to break a curse is to fulfill the conditions of the curse.{{book ref|tress|64}} These curses are difficult to break in any other way, even by the one who created it. Though it is possible to do so through unknown methods or editing the parameters of the conditions.{{book ref|tress|epilogue}}{{book ref|tress|64}}
Cursed individuals have a ring of Aons surrounding them, which describes and makes up their curse.{{book ref|tress|64}} These appear to be difficult or impossible to see by those without access to AonDor.
== Relationship To Arelon ==
AonDor has a specific tie to the land of Arelon.{{
It is possible to create another city similar to Elantris in other locations on Sel.{{wob ref|254}} The [[Ire]] created a base similar to it in the [[Cognitive Realm]] of [[Scadrial]], though in order for this to work, Investiture from Sel needs to be piped to it.{{msh ref|5|2}} There are, however, other ways to achieve the same effect.{{wob ref|13387}}
AonDor will not normally work on
== History ==
=== Restoration of Elantris ===
[[Raoden]] managed to discover what was wrong with the AonDor during his imprisonment in the city, and he repaired the Rao and restored the city to its former glory.{{book ref|Elantris|61}} He, an Elantrian, took his place as king of Arelon, ruling from the city of Elantris.{{book ref|Elantris|62}}
=== The Sorceress of Lumar ===
At some point in the future, [[Riina]] settled on [[Lumar]] and became feared as the Sorceress. One source of her infamy as her various curses, which she laid upon people using complex AonDor arrays.{{book ref|tress|13}}{{book ref|tress|64}}{{file ref|BattleOfWits.jpg|Battle of Wits}}
