The '''Dakhor''' is a theorized magic system on [[Sel]], and has been theorized to be a gateway through [[Dominion]] to the [[Dor]], independent from [[AonDor]]. Its official name is not clear, but the known users of this system are the monks of [[Dakhor Monastery]] in [[Fjorden]], like [[Dilaf]].
The Dakhor monks themselves are a newer development than [[Elantrians]].{{
Its exact mechanics are so far unclear, but will be explored more fully in the [[Elantris sequel]].{{ref|?|799|10|Speaking of sequels, here's what I'M planning.}} As such, this article looks at the small clues related to this magic, and is incomplete until the sequel to ''[[Elantris]]''.
== Effects and Abilites ==
Regardless of how the Dakhor system is accessed, there appear to be some constant effects. The bones of the person accessing Dakhor begin to grow and twist.{{ref|b|elantris|c|58}} The shapes that they twist into are ancient Fjordell characters.{{ref|b|elantris|epilogue}} While they are abnormal, the Dakhor monks don't seem deformed or inhuman.{{
The Dakhor magic system can grant several abilities that we've seen so far. The first is the extreme strength of anyone who uses Dakhor.{{ref|b|elantris|c|58}} The bones of the the Dakhor monks are almost indestructible too,{{ref|b|elantris|c|62}} although this may just be part of the increased strength they have. Those who use Dakhor can receive enhanced speed as well.{{ref|b|elantris|c|58}} Another more costly power is teleportation. In exchange for one man's death, a large groups of people can be transported instantaneously somewhere.{{ref|b|elantris|c|60}} The body and spirit of the man who is sacrificed is used to power this ability. These four powers appear to be part of the standard ability set for monks of Dakhor monastery.
