Difference between revisions of "Forgery"

Forgery shares a number of Realmatic similarities with other forms of magic. As with all Selish magics, it is powered by the Dor, limited by location, limited by bloodline, and encoded with symbols in a programmatic fashion. {{qa ref|979|14}}{{qa ref|1019|5}}{{qa ref|948|5|Advanced uses of Forgery are like writing code}}{{qa ref|949|7}} Forgery is similar to [[Soulcasting]], however instead of influencing a Cognitive aspect directly, it offers the change through the encoded symbols. It is theorized that the plausibility factor of Forgeries is why a physical transformation from a Forgery takes vastly less Investiture than the more forceful change from Soulcasting. The careful encoding also makes Forgery more precise and detailed than Soulcasting. The subtype of Forgery known as [[Forgery#Resealing|Resealing]] is suspected to work in a similar fashion to [[Aon#Ien|Aon Ien]], and to a lesser extent other healing methods throughout the [[cosmere]] such as [[Ferring#Gold|Feruchemical Gold]] or [[Stormlight]] Healing. The physical medium of stamps and seals are shared with the cousin system of [[Bloodsealing]], as is the use of organic inks.
