== Prerequisites ==
▲'''ChayShan''' is a magic system on [[Sel]].
In order for a ChayShan user to access the [[Dor]] a few things have to occur. It appears that a ChayShan user has to be [[JinDo]].{{wob ref|8617}}
== Mechanics ==
[[Shuden]] claims that ChayShan is simply a way to focus a warrior's mind and body before battle,{{book ref|Elantris|17}} but he later uses it while fighting [[Dakhor]] monks.{{book ref|Elantris|61}} ChayShan is practiced via a meditative martial arts style that appears to focus on speeding up motions and gaining power from them,{{wob ref|1967}} which then appears to draw upon the Dor. As all the [[Investiture]]s on [[Sel]] are form-based,{{book ref|aol|part=ars}} it is quite possible that the different forms and moves of the ChayShan are what determine what powers a practitioner is using.
A person using ChayShan moves their body in specific circular patterns, slowly gaining in speed.{{book ref|
== Abilities ==
One of the abilities
== Relationship To JinDo ==
ChayShan has a specific tie to the land of JinDo. Like all Selish magic, ChayShan will decrease in power the further from JinDo a user gets.{{wob ref|8617}}
