Difference between revisions of "AonDor"

AonDor involves the use of symbols called '''[[Aon|Aons]]s''', which can be drawn in the air in lines of light by an Elantrian to create a magic effect. An [[Aon]] must be drawn perfectly or it will not create the intended magic, and may cause dangerous results. The effect is determined by the specific Aon drawn.

During the [[Reod]], the configuration of the basic [[Aon]] changed, rendering all all existing Aons ineffective. That included a grand Aon, formed by the walls of [[Elantris_(city)|Elantris]] and surrounding cities. Since that was the Aon that constantly increased the power of AonDor used by Elantrians, as well as causing their bodies to glow with an inner light, its failure has caused their bodies to get stuck in mid-transformed state, creating a corpse-like appearance, as well as inability to die or regenerate. Other Elantris Aons, used for lighting and indoor plumbing, has also failed, rendering the city almost unlivable.
