'''Shaod''' is a term describing the process of being converted into an [[Elantrian]]. The word is based on the [[Aon#Shao|Aon Shao]] which means transformation or change.
== Lore ==
The Shaod, or the Transformation, generally happens at night.{{wob ref|8409}} The people it chooses are seemingly random (though not completely){{wob ref|13071}} and may be from any age or class in society.{{book ref|Elantris|prologue}}
There is an upper limit to the number of Elantrians there can be at a given time.{{wob ref|8617}} There are ways to reverse the Shaod.{{wob ref|9891}}
== Physical Effects ==
Those affected by the Shaod are transformed into Elantrians: they have brilliant white hair, silver skin, and seem almost to shine.{{book ref|Elantris|prologue}} Their bodies are able to heal quickly and they have superior strength, speed, and mental abilities, as well as access to the AonDor. For further details, see [[Elantrian]]. If the Shaod strikes a pregnant woman, the unborn child becomes an Elantrian.{{wob ref|4665}}
