* [[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.
* [[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}}
