* [[ChayShan]] seems to be a type of meditative martial art practiced by 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 monks of [[Dakhor 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}} likely derived from the Invested Art associated with [[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.That could be related to a "freezing stuff in water" magic {{wob ref|
* [[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. The symbols on the front side indicate what a soulstamp does; the "setting mark" on the back side indicates that the stamp is complete and looks like [[MaiPon]].{{tes ref|30}}
* [[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}}
