'''Soulforging''' is a type of Forgery practiced by the people of MaiPon, requiring the use of specialized stamps called [[Essence Mark]]s. The use of Essence Marks is termed soulforging due to the fact that they forge the Spiritual aspect of an individual.{{tes ref|12}} This is considered blasphemous by many cultures.{{tes ref|30}}{{tes ref|76}}
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
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.{{tes ref|30}} 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.
