(Edited to clarify that the WoB was referring to Elantrians using Forgery, not Forgers using Forgery in other locations using the glyphs of those locations, a method which is left unresolved by this WoB.) |

Soulstamps are the main medium for enacting a Forgery. 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
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}}
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}}
