They are used to stamp an object with a seal, which changes the object's past in a way described by the design of the stamp.{{tes ref\|3}} The seal left by the stamp itself is also called a soulstamp.{{tes ref\|2}} If the new history that the stamp implies is convincing enough the stamp will take and hold indefinitely. If not, the stamp will fail after an amount of time relative to the similarity of the histories. When failing, the soulstamp will evaporate and the subject will revert to normal.{{tes ref\|12}} The subject will also turn back to normal if the soulstamp is forcefully taken off.{{tes ref\|3}} A plausible enough stamp will stay nearly permanently. The more people who know of a Forgery, the more likely it is to fail.{{tes ref\|3}} There are power modifiers for soulstamps similar to power modifiers for [[AonDor]].{{wob ref\|129}} == Realmatics of Forgery == Forgery involves the use of Investiture present in the Dor accessed through a medium of a soulstamp. The seal on the soulstamp acts as the [[focus]] through the specific symbols carved upon it.{{wob ref\|1083}} Like other [[Sel]]ish magic systems, Forgery uses a series of symbols that represent linguistic concepts applied with a variety of modifiers to encode the [[Intention]] of a given action into the focus directly. Though the Selish magics are often considered to use the concept of 'form' as their focus, it is more correct to think of these symbols as being a type of programming language using symbolic representation.{{wob ref\|9831}}{{wob ref\|4695}} A Forger must detail their intent with the correct pattern and arrangement of symbols and modifiers. The Dor is accessed through a [[Connection]] to MaiPon, and each soulstamp carries an impression of MaiPon on the reverse.{{tes ref\|30}}{{wob ref\|4680}} Forgery utilizes a relatively small amount of Investiture in comparison to many other systems. As such, Forgers do not seem to be particularly Invested in ways that manifest outwardly, like the highly Invested [[Elantrian]]s or the [[Dahkor]] Monks.{{wob ref\|10416}}{{wob ref\|7299}} Another side effect of this is that Forgery has difficulty affecting Invested objects, though the unusual nature of Forgery has a number of loopholes available to it that offset that particular issue.{{wob ref\|7007}} == Relationship To MaiPon == Forgery has a specific tie to the land of MaiPon. Like all Selish magic, Forgery will decrease in power the further from MaiPon a Forger gets.{{wob ref\|8617}}{{wob ref\|6157}} The Dor is accessed through a connection to MaiPon, and each soulstamp carries an impression of MaiPon on the reverse.{{tes ref\|30}}{{wob ref\|4680}} It can be tricked into using the shape of a different location.{{wob ref\|15954}}{{book ref\|mb7\|54}} For the same reason as the bloodline, the glyph of MaiPon cannot be simply changed to another glyph (such as Aon Aon) to ~~correspond~~allow toSelish magic users aof ~~new~~another ~~area~~location to ~~power~~use Forgery.{{wob ref\|4054}} If a Forgery is taken to another planet in the cosmere, the Forgery would collapse.{{wob ref\|5192}} Forging can be done off-world if one uses Invested Ink,{{book ref\|mb7\|42}} and/or dipping it in unkeyed Investiture.{{book ref\|mb7\|53}} It can also be used to change the [[Knights Radiant\|Radiant]] Order a Surgebinder belongs to, though there might be issues with Oaths not aligning well. This is easier than turning a non-Surgebinder into a Surgebinder, due to the preexisting Investiture in that person and the basis of the First Oath.{{wob ref\|11388}} A soulstamp's duration can be lengthened by a Bondsmith.{{wob ref\|16232}} === Shardblades and Shardplate === {{The Emperor's Soul}} [[Category: Forgery]] [[es: Falsificación]]
