'''The Dor''' is a source of spiritual energy on [[Sel]] that powers [[AonDor]], [[ChayShan]], [[Forgery]]{{17swob ref|post|42116|Does Forgery use the Dor?|date=26 September 20121083}} and, [[Dakhor]].,{{book ref|Elantris|63}} and [[Bloodsealing]]{{wob ref|4090}}
 
== Appearance ==
The Dor often shows its presence through some sort of bright glowing, whether through Aons, the twists of the Dakhor bones, or in the wake of the movements of someone using ChayShan.
 
== Composition & Nature ==
The Dor is a mass of plasma-like substance{{wob ref|6852}} in the [[Cognitive Realm]], a large amount of power left behind after [[Odium]] visited Sel.{{wob ref|4129}} It is the remnant of Devotion and Dominion's combined powers after the Shards themselves were Splintered.{{wob ref|2787}}{{wob ref|1533}} The Dor exists in the Cognitive Realm and is very dangerous, appearing as a large source of mindless, uncontrolled power.
What, exactly, the Dor is made up of is still unknown. There are hints that AonDor is of [[Devotion]] and Dakhor is of [[Dominion]]. Contradictorily, both AonDor and Dakhor draw from the Dor, while Devotion and Dominion are separate Shards.
 
The programming-esque way Investiture is drawn from the Dor is the result of "a mixture of the Vessels' personalities, the fact that the power resides in the Cognitive Realm, and the nature of Sel's focus" (Form).{{wob ref|4249}} Those who use the Dor can sense when others are using it.{{book ref|Elantris|56}}
