==[[Realmatic Theory|Realmatics of Forgery]]==
Forgery involves the use of [[Investiture]] present in the [[Dor]] accessed through a medium of a [[soulstamp]]. The seal on the soulstamp acts as the [[focus]] through the specific symbols carved upon it.{{wob ref|1083}} Like other [[Sel]]ish magic systems, Forgery uses a series of symbols that represent linguistic concepts applied with a variety of modifiers to encode the [[intentIntention]] of a given action into the focus directly. Though the Selish magics are often considered to use the concept of 'form' as their focus, it is more correct to think of these symbols as being a type of programming language using symbolic representation.{{qa ref|1019|5}}{{wob ref|4695}} A Forger must detail their intent with the correct pattern and arrangement of symbols and modifiers. The Dor is accessed through a connection to [[MaiPon]], and each Soulstamp carries an impression of MaiPon on the reverse.{{tes ref|30}}{{qa ref|949|7}}
 
Forgery utilizes a relatively small amount of Investiture in comparison to many other systems. As such, Forgers do not seem to be particularly Invested in ways that manifest outwardly, like the highly Invested [[Elantrian]]s or the [[Dahkor]] Monks.{{qa ref|1034|28}}{{qa ref|1047|12}} Another side effect of this is that Forgery has difficulty affecting Invested objects, though the unusual nature of Forgery has a number of loopholes available to it that offset that particular issue.{{wob ref|7007}}
