The moment of a [[Selish]] person turning into an [[Elantrian]] and gaining access to the [[AonDor]] is called the [[Shaod]]. It is distinctive in that it only affects those with sufficient [[Connection]] to certain geographical areas on [[Sel]], primarily [[Arelon]],{{book ref|elantris|1}}{{wob ref|411}} which happens because the Investiture of [[Devotion]] and [[Dominion]] is trapped in the Cognitive Realm rather than the [[Spiritual Realm]].{{wob ref|1473}} [[Khriss]] considers it one of the more mysterious forms of Initiation, as she is unable to find out anything about how Elantrians are chosen beyond the geographical restriction; she guesses that there may simply be an element of randomness involved.{{book ref|elantris|part=ars}}
In order for a person to become a [[Forger]] a few things have to occur. One generally has to be born in [[MaiPon]];{{wob ref|8516}} ancestry there does not seem to be required,{{wob ref|14908}} though it is possible that some combination of being of MaiPon descent or being born nearby and living in MaiPon at the time one gains the ability may also fill this prerequisite. However, not everyone who meets the geographical requirements can use the magic system,{{wob ref|6563}} despite what some believe.{{tes ref|5}}
Little is known about [[Dakhor]], but it may only be available to those from [[Fjordell]], and training in [[Dakhor Monastery]] somehow enables monks to access it.▼

And even less is known about [[ChayShan]] and [[Bloodsealing]] with the only known perquisite is that the person must be [[JinDo]] or [[Dzhamarian]]((wob ref|8617}}{{wob ref|14908}}
