* [[AonDor]] uses symbols called Aons[[Aon]]s, which can be drawn directly in the air as glowing light, or in a large variety of physical representations, such as etched into metal plates, or incorporated into the design of buildings. Anyone can learn to draw Aons, but they only have power when created by an [[Elantrian]]. AonDor is tied to the land of Arelon and is only practiced within its borders. Aons work elsewhere but become weaker with distance from Arelon.
* [[ChayShan]] is not explored much in ''Elantris'', however it seems to consist ofbe a type of meditative martial art practiced inby the [[JinDo]], with the forms one moves through granting access to the Dor. It appears that, like Aons, these forms can be practiced by anyone without supernatural effect,{{book ref|Elantris|17}}, with additional factors such as intent or bloodline establishing the connection to the Dor.
* The name for the manifestation of Investiture used by members of the [[Dakhor Monastery]] has not yet been revealed, though it is referred to as [[Dakhor]] by the fandom after the monastery. Dakhor monks have unnatural and twisted bone structures that form patterns under the skin. These patterns are most likely the 'form' through which they access the Dor.{{book ref|Elantris|56}}. Some Dakhor magics require human sacrifice, such as instant transportation.
* The monks of [[Dakhor Monastery]] monastery use an Invested Art often referred as [[Dakhor]]. Dakhor monks have unnatural and twisted bone structures that form patterns under the skin.{{book ref|Elantris|56}} These bones are inlaid with ancient Fjordell characters,{{book ref|elantris|63}} which are likely the symbols used to access the Dor. Some Dakhor magics, such as instant transportation, require human sacrifice.{{book ref|elantris|60}}
* [[Forton]]'s potions are Invested,{{wob ref|826}}, andlikely isderived likelyfrom the manifestationInvested ofArt Investitureassociated onwith [[Hrovell]]. This suggests that, despite Hrovell being under Derethi rule, it maintains an Invested Art of its own. It is not yet known what forms are used to create these potions.
* [[Forgery]] involves shaping a specific form, by the carving of a sort of stamp, and then the application of ink to the stamp, and then applying a mark onto the desired object or person. Supposedly the forgery helps the object (or soul) remember a different past, or a likely destiny in order to change the actual essence of the object.

* [[Bloodsealing]] is very similar to Forgery in that it requires stamps, but rather than using ink, they use fresh blood. It is thought of as abominable and unsettling by most.
* [[Bloodsealing]], like Forgery, uses stamps, but they must be inked with fresh blood. Bloodsealers can mark a door, which will set their [[Skeletal]]s to attack the person from whom the blood came if they pass through the door.{{tes ref|3}}
* There is a type of Investiture not seen yet that is "about patterns".{{wob ref|11244}}

What advantage a skaze bond grants is not clear at this time.
