Bloodsealing
Related to The Dor
World of Origin Sel

Bloodsealing is a manifestation of Investiture practiced by the Bloodsealers of Dzhamar on Sel.[1] Bloodsealers use soulstamps made of bone and their target's blood as ink. These soulstamps are sometimes referred as Bloodseals.[2] Among their abilities are creating constructs of human or animal bones known as skeletals, tracking a target with blood[3] and making wards that would alert the Bloodsealer if their targets leave the vicinity of the Bloodseal.[2] After a day or so, the blood is useless to a Bloodsealer, so fresh blood is a requirement.[4] Bloodsealing is very similar to Forgery in application. Grands consider Bloodsealing a dark art but make use of it if they need it.[4]
