'''AonDor''' is a manifestation of [[Investiture]] located on the [[ShardworldCosmere#Planets|planet]] [[Sel]] that is used by the Elantrians[[Elantrian]]s.{{book ref|Elantris|4}} It involves the use of variously shaped [[Aon]]s, which draw energy from the [[Dor]] and must be fine-tuned to the landscape.

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}}

In extremely advanced uses of AonDor, multiple Aons can be used in conjunction to modify each other in Aon equations.{{wob ref|1938}} These are used to channel the Dor in the most specific ways allowed by AonDor. With it, Elantrians could fabricate any object out of nothing, although the sheer skill and practice required makes Elantrians who can do this extremely rare.{{wob ref|1938}} In addition to its regular effect, it appears that each Aon has a secondary effect that can be used in the Aon equations. Almost any effect in the cosmere can be replicated with the right equation.{{wob ref|15860}}

AonDor has a specific tie to the land of Arelon.{{wob ref|2173}} The base Aon Aon is shaped like the land of Arelon, with its lines and dot representing the coast, Atad Mountains, and Lake Alonoe.{{book ref|Elantris|46}} Every Aon reflects some trait of the land, such as the Dii, the Aon for wood, contain circles where the forests of Arelon fall.{{book ref|Elantris|49}} This is a very fluid relationship; as the land changes so do the Aons. When an earthquake created a chasm in the south of Arelon, a new line was required in every Aon to make it functional.{{book ref|Elantris|49}} AonDor's power will diminish the further an Elantrian travels from the city of [[Elantris (city)|Elantris]].{{book ref|Elantris|19}}{{wob ref|8617}}

AonDor will not normally work on [[Shardworld]]splanets other than [[Sel]],{{wob ref|1473}}{{wob ref|6164}} but it is possible to hack the magic system and get it to work on other Shardworldsplanets.{{book ref|tress|64}}{{wob ref|5633}}{{book Oneref|mb7|54}} wayA isFull for[[Feruchemist]] acould Fulluse [[Feruchemistnicrosil#Feruchemical Use|nicrosil]] to usecreate an [[aluminumunsealed metalminds|unsealed]] [[nicrosilduralumin#Feruchemical Use|nicrosilmindduraluminmind]] to create a [[Southern_Scadrian#Technology|medallion]] that allows an Elantrian to store their [[Connection]] to SelElantris for magic to work at full potential far from Elantris.{{wob ref|12895}}
