Selish magic is particularly powerful,{{wob ref|10728}} but despite a common power source (the [[Dor]]),{{wob ref|7114}} each type of magic is usually only usable by people native to specific areas of Sel.{{wob ref|8516}}{{wob ref|1768}}{{wob ref|1473}} Brandon has stated on numerous occasions that Selish magic typically gets weaker as the distance from its homeland increases.{{wob ref|3920}} This does vary by the specific magic system,{{wob ref|5190}} but Selish magic generally does not work on other planets.{{wob ref|868}}{{wob ref|1473}}{{wob ref|6164}} This is a problem that some characters are actively trying to solve,.{{wob ref|10728}} and thus farAlthough the Moon Scepter does not remove these geographic restrictions,{{wob ref|11410}} thus far it is the only thing that Brandon has indicated could make this task "less daunting".{{wob ref|868}}

Brandon has only explicitly statedconfirmed that the scepter candoes givenot someone andirectly "understandingunlock" of Selish magic, notor necessarilygrant access to theSelish magic itself.{{wob ref|10728}} However, access to the Dor is heavily symbol-based. Someone that is able to use at least one type of Selish magic would likelymight be able to use the information on the scepter to gain access to one or more additional types of magic (including [[AonDor]], [[Forgery]], [[ChayShan]], [[Dakhor]], Invested potions,{{wob ref|826}} [[Bloodsealing]], and more{{wob ref|3441}}{{wob ref|11244}}). Alternatively, the translation could allow the powers of a magic system to be accessed using different symbols in non-native locations (for example, an [[Elantrian]] traveling to [[Fjorden]] could be able to use AonDor with Dakhor glyphs rather than Aons).
