{{quote|All things exist in three Realms, Gaotona. Physical, Cognitive, Spiritual. The Physical is what we feel, what is before us. The Cognitive is how an object is viewed and how it views itself. The Spiritual Realm contains an object’s soul— its essence— as well as the ways it is connected to the things and people around it.|[[Shai]] discussing [[Forgery]] with [[Gaotona]]{{ref|b|tes|day|12}}|}}

 

Soulstamping an object functions by rewriting the history of an object or individual to match the encoded intent of the seal.{{ref|b|tes|day|3}}{{ref|?|977|115|Tell me about Forgery?}} The likelihood of a soulstamp taking is dependent in part on the plausibility of a stamp. This includes both how the object views itself (the object's history) and how others view it. This is congruent with what we know of the cognitive realm, and suggests Forgery is similar to [[Soulcasting]].{{ref|?|979|15|Do soulstamps work similar to Returned?}}{{ref|b|tes|postscript}} It is also likely that Forgery draws heavily on the spiritual aspect of an object, as connections that should be otherwise unavailable to the object cognitively affect the plausibility of a stamp, such as the instance where the room a [[Atsuko]] of Jindo was placed in was modified in order to influence the drawing of a mural.{{ref|b|tes|day|76}}
