The people of MaiPon practice Forgery on their own souls, making Essence Marks which can be used to impart new skills, enact disguises, change their personality or physiology, rewrite their memories, or in general affect the history of a person in a manner similar but more complex than ordinary Forging. Essence Marks are powerful, but incredibly difficult and complex to make, requiring a lattice of hundreds of different stamps networked together.{{tes ref\|58}}{{tes ref\|76}} Using the power of [[Allomantic]] gold is somehow useful for making Essence Marks.{{wob ref\|11153}} When applying an Essence Mark the seal will give off faint wisps of red smoke, which happens when a soulstamp is put on an living object. This indicates that the soul is fighting against the rewriting, and the color indicates that the Forger is technically corrupting the ~~victims~~subject's innate Investiture.{{tes ref\|30}}{{wob ref\|13830}} Because a human soul is constantly growing, changing, and shifting, a soulstamp will last at most a day before failing.{{tes ref\|30}} In order to keep the changes made to a soul, a soulstamp needs to be reapplied every twenty-four hours.{{tes ref\|76}} If an Essence Mark is used consistently over a few years, it is possible that a person will no longer need to be stamped in order to keep the changes.{{tes ref\|58}} A person constantly using an Essence Mark can have the capability to remember, grow, and change if it is programmed into the soulstamp.{{tes ref\|30}} A person will barely be able to recall memories and emotions from Essence Marks within an hour of not using them. It is possible kill someone using soulforging, however, the this could not be undone as the person would pass into the Beyond.{{wob ref\|1601}} '''Remembering''' is a subset of Forging employed by the [[Heritage Faction]]. Remembering is limited to the creation of culturally historic objects; Forgers are employed to manipulate common objects for aesthetic purposes.{{tes ref\|3}} These restrictions are enacted due to the general disregard for Forgery in the [[Rose Empire]].{{tes ref\|2}} Rememberers employ methods of mass production to convert low quality goods into historic works of skill.{{tes ref\|3}} == Relationship To MaiPon == Forgery has a specific tie to the land of MaiPon. Like all Selish magic, Forgery will decrease in power the further from MaiPon a Forger gets.{{wob ref\|8617}}{{wob ref\|6157}} The Dor is accessed through a connection to MaiPon, and each soulstamp carries an impression of MaiPon on the reverse.{{tes ref\|30}}{{wob ref\|4680}} For the same reason as the bloodline, the glyph of MaiPon cannot be simply changed to another glyph (such as Aon Aon) to correspond to a new area to power Forgery.{{wob ref\|4054}} If a Forgery is taken to another [[Shardworld]] the Forgery would collapse.{{wob ref\|5192}}
