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.
Forgery is a cousin system to [[Bloodsealing]], which shares some similarities.

{{quote|The Forgery of the soul, that was what they considered an abomination.|[[Wan ShaiLu]]{{ref|b|tes|day|2}} }}
'''Soulforging''' is a type of [[Forgery]] on [[Sel]] practiced by the people of [[MaiPon]] requiring the use of specialized stamps called [[Essence Marks]]. The use of Essence Marks are termed soul forging due to the fact that they forge the spiritual aspect of an individual.{{ref|b|tes|day|12}} This is considered blasphemous by many cultures.{{ref|b|tes|day|30}}{{ref|b|tes|day|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.{{ref|b|tes|day|58}}{{ref|b|tes|day|76}}
=== Resealing ===
{{quote|Resealing repairs a body and makes it anew.|An unnamed Grand surgeon}}
'''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]].{{ref|b|tes|day|2}}
While Resealing can
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.{{ref|b|tes|day|2}} Resealing is expected to work in a similar fashion to [[Aon#Ien|Aon Ien]], and to a lesser extent other healing methods throughout the [[cosmere]].

=== Remembering ===
{{quote|Our workers are not Forgers, we don’t use that word. They are Rememberers.|[[Gaotona]]{{ref|b|tes|day|2}} }}
'''Remembering''' is a subset of [[Forging]] on [[Sel]] employed by the [[Heritage Faction]]. Remembering is limited to the use of historic objects, where Forgers are employed to discover the history of objects, manipulating them for aesthetic purposes.{{ref|b|tes|day|3}} These restrictions are enacted due to the general disregard for Forgery in the Rose Empire.{{ref|b|tes|day|2}} Rememberers employ methods of mass production to convert low quality goods into historic works of skill.{{ref|b|tes|day|3}}
