In order for a Forger to access the [[Dor]] a few things have to occur. AOne bloodlinemust connectionbe toborn in [[MaiPon]]{{wob isref|8516}} required,(though butancestry doesn'tthere always enable someoneis tonot use Forgery.required{{wob ref|656314908}}), but this alone is not enough.{{wob ref|86176563}} A form is also needed, which is done with the use of [[soulstamp]]s. Most Forgers are taught how to do mundane forgery such as reading people,{{tes ref|30}} writing, art, or personal signets before being taught to use soulstamps. Though it is not necessary, these skills are useful when combined with Forgery.{{tes ref|17}}

Forgery shares a number of Realmatic similarities with other forms of magic. As with all Selish magics, it is powered by the Dor, limited by location, limited by bloodlinebirthplace, and encoded with symbols in a programmatic fashion.{{wob ref|4054}}{{wob ref|9831}}{{wob ref|4695}}{{wob ref|4680}} Forgery is similar to Soulcasting, however instead of influencing a Cognitive aspect directly, it offers the change through the encoded symbols. It is theorized that the plausibility factor of Forgeries is why a physical transformation from a Forgery takes vastly less Investiture than the more forceful change from Soulcasting. The careful encoding also makes Forgery more precise and detailed than Soulcasting. The subtype of Forgery known as Resealing is suspected to work in a similar fashion to [[Aon#Ien|Aon Ien]], and to a lesser extent other healing methods throughout the [[cosmere]] such as [[Feruchemical]] [[gold]] or [[Stormlight]] healing. The physical medium of stamps and seals are shared with the cousin system of Bloodsealing, as is the use of organic inks.
