|At this point, the bulk of the Investiture that made up the powers of Dominion and Devotion is trapped on the Cognitive Realm. Collectively, these powers—which have a polarized relationship—are called the Dor. Forced together as they are, trapped and bursting to escape, they power the various forms of magic on Sel, which are multitude.

== 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. Due to being in the Cognitive Realm it has attained rudimentary emotions.{{wob ref|9708}}
The programming-esque way Investiture is drawn from the Dor is the result of the fact that its power is trapped in the Cognitive Realm, as well as the personalities of the original Vessels of [[Devotion]] and [[Dominion]] and the nature of Sel's [[focus]], forms.{{wob ref|4249}} Those who use the Dor can sense when others are using it.{{book ref|Elantris|56}}
There is a god metal that comes from the Dor.{{wob ref|13354}}
