In order to carve a soulstamp, one must have two bases of knowledge. The first base of knowledge is of the forms necessary to program the stamp. The forms imprinted on the stamp act like symbolic functions in a computer program, and it is necessary to put the correct forms in the correct positions to achieve the desired effect. The modifiers and forms required to encode a soul stamp function in a way similar to those of the [[AonDor]], though different shapes are used.{{qa ref|948|5|Selian magic is similar to code|date=Feb 12th, 2013}}{{qa ref|987|9|How magic on Sel works|date=Nov 6th, 2012}}
 
The second base of knowledge is that of the altered history. The success rate of a soulstamp relies on the plausibility of a stamp to established history. While a Forger does not need to know everything about a subject to create a stamp for it, the more knowledge they have on the topic the more plausible, and thus successful, their stamp will be.{{book ref|tes|postscript}} Many simple Forgings require very little knowledge of the object, its history, or pertinent topics. Examples include reforging a table to be cared for rather than neglected,{{book ref|tes|day|12}} or reforging an awakened object to have a different command phrase.{{17s ref|7267|post|120568|text="Would it be possible to reforge Nightblood|date=29 March 2014}}
