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.{{wob ref|2173}} The person must then be chosen by the [[Shaod]]. Their skin will glow, their hair will turn white, and they gain the ability to draw Aons that channel the Dor.{{book ref|Elantris|4}}
 
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}}

=== 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}}{{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|64epilogue}}{{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.
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 planets 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 planets.{{book ref|tress|64}}{{wob ref|5633}}{{book ref|mb7|54}} A Full [[Feruchemist]] could use [[nicrosil#Feruchemical Use|nicrosil]] to create an [[unsealed metalminds|unsealed]] [[nicrosilduralumin#Feruchemical Use|nicrosilmindduraluminmind]] to create a [[Southern_Scadrian#Technology|medallion]] that allows an Elantrian to store their [[Connection]] to Elantris for magic to work at full potential far from Elantris.{{wob ref|12895}}
