\|books=[[Elantris (book)\|Elantris]] }} The '''skaze''' are [[Splinter]]s of [[Dominion]] that live on [[Sel]].{{au ref\|sel}}{{wob ref\|4547}} The skaze have many similarities to the [[seon]]s that also live on Sel. Like the seons, they appear as sapient floating spheres of energy that can converse with humans. Unlike the seons, however, the skaze are very rarely seen or discussed ~~during~~in ~~the events of ''~~[[~~Elantris~~Arelon]]''. == Appearance and Composition == == Disposition == Most likely due to Dominion's intent, the skaze are "pretty thirsty for power".{{wob ref\|6167~~}} Brandon has referred to them as "evil seons".{{wob ref\|2232}}{{wob ref\|5540~~}} The skaze are "reliant upon humankind",{{book ref\|Elantris\|part=postscript}} but it is not known if they have masters like the seons. It is unknown if the skaze were affected by the [[Reod]]. == History == Skaze have many similarities to the [[spren]] that live on [[Roshar]]. Like spren, skaze can turn into [[Shardblade]]s if they have something to pull them more into the [[Physical Realm]].{{wob ref\|6197}} Skaze can also be used to build a [[fabrial]].{{wob ref\|12918}} == ~~Speculation~~Trivia == * Brandon has referred to them as "evil seons".{{wob ref\|2232}}{{wob ref\|5540}} ~~{{theory}}~~ [[Raoden]] notices "ancient [[Fjordell]] characters" seemingly carved into a bone retrieved from a dead Dakhor monk.{{book ref\|Elantris\|63}} Based on the nature of [[AonDor]] and other Selish [[Investiture]], it is very likely that these glyphs are related to the magical powers of the Dakhor. Assuming that skaze and Dakhor are both of Dominion, then the symbols seen on the "halo" around the skaze may be the same glyphs, much like Aons appear inside each seon. [[Odium]] visited Sel in the past{{article ref\|The Letter}} and the description of the skaze as dark to the point of sucking in light is very similar to some small [[black sphere]]s related to Odium that are seen on Roshar. However, Brandon has confirmed that Odium did not leave his own power on Sel,{{wob ref\|4129}}{{wob ref\|11928}} so this is likely a coincidence. == Notes ==
