While the Seonsseons glow with light and have an [[Aon]] at their center, the Skazeskaze are described as dark, seeming to suck in the light around them, with indistinct edges that blend into the air.{{book ref|Elantris|part=postscript}} Skaze also have a ring around their sphere with a "pattern of misty symbols".{{book ref|Elantris|part=postscript}} The Skazeskaze have some relationship to and may be named after Dominion's [[Vessel]] [[Skai]].{{qawob ref|691|30|Skaze are ...|date=May, 20105540}} This is similar to the relationship of Seonsseons to [[Devotion]]'s Vessel, [[Aona]].{{qawob ref|949|5|AMOL Signing Report - Viper|date=2013-02-064679}}▼

== Disposition ==
Most likely due to Dominion's Intentintent, the Skazeskaze are "pretty thirsty for power".{{wob ref|6167}} Brandon has referred to them as "evil Seons".{{qa ref|769|210|Annotation: Raoden and Sarene vs. Dilaf|date=Oct 18th, 2004}}{{qa ref|691|30|Skaze are ...|date=May, 2010}} The Skazeskaze are "reliant upon humankind",{{book ref|Elantris|part=postscript}} but it is not known if they have masters like the Seonsseons. It is unknown if the Skazeskaze were affected by the [[Reod]].
 
== History ==
They have a large amount of influence in the politics of [[Fjordell]]{{qawob ref|590|45|What's Wyrns motivation to topple Elantris?|date=May, 20104641}} and strongly influence the [[Dakhor]].{{qawob ref|510|44|The purification rites are mostly ritualistic|date=Apr 28th, 20104640}} [[Dilaf]], the leader of the Dakhor, had information from the Skazeskaze that the [[Elantrian]]s were not indestructible.{{book ref|Elantris|62}}
 
[[Hoid]] talksmade tosome kind of agreement with a Skazegroup andof skaze in which theyhe appearpromised to havebecome somean kind[[Elantrian]], ofbut agreementhe failed to do so.{{book ref|Elantris|part=postscript}} ThisThe ispartnership abetween kindthem ofwas equalfairly partnershiploose.{{wob ref|8377}} HoidWhen reflectshe discovered that he had failed, he was in the company of a skaze who displayed a surprising level of emotion and humor, causing him to reflect on the fact that the Skazeskaze havehad a wide range of emotions and individual personalities.{{book ref|Elantris|part=postscript}}
 
== Similarities to spren ==
*Skaze Likehave many similarities to the [[spren]] that live on [[Roshar]],. SkazeLike spren, couldskaze theoreticallycan 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}}▼
 
== Trivia ==
* Brandon has referred to them as "evil seons".{{wob ref|2232}}{{wob ref|5540}}
▲* Like [[spren]] on [[Roshar]], Skaze could theoretically turn into [[Shardblade]]s if they have something to pull them more into the [[Physical Realm]].{{wob ref|6197}}
 
== Speculation ==
{{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.
