One appears to need an extraordinary amount of knowledge of the background and composition of the object or person being Forged in order to make a stamp affect a target for an extended period of time. Therefore, Forgers probably need to be scholars and researchers as well as talented artisans.

The people of [[MaiPon]] practice Forgery on their own souls, making [[soulstamp]]s which can be used as disguises.
=== Resealing ===

'''Resealing''' is a form of magic on [[Sel]] practiced by surgeons skilled in the art of [[Forgery]]. This subset of Forgery allows the practitioner to repair damage to the human body. It is also called ''Flesh Forgery'' by the [[MaiPon]].
While Resealing can heal powerfully, even allowing Emperor [[Ashravan]] to survive a crossbow bolt to the head, it only repairs physical damage. After a traumatic brain injury like Ashravan's, the mind remains empty, and requires the forging of a new soul to return the subject to functionality.
Resealing requires a great deal of skill and specialization. According to [[Shai]], a Forger has to know everything about the body of the subject, including the placement of veins, muscles, and sinew in order to properly perform Resealing.
