== Missing Aon images ==
: Just adding that Aon Soo is missing [[User:Haelbarde|Haelbarde]] ([[User talk:Haelbarde|talk]])
: Aon Aor doesn't have a picture on it, do we just not know what it looks like? [[User:Enochole|Enochole]] ([[User talk:Enochole|Talk]]) 16:01, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
:: It doesn't look like it's in the Ars Arcanum and as far as I can tell the only reference to it as "Aor plantation," so I think you're right that we just don't know its appearance. --[[User:Stargazer|Stargazer]] ([[User talk:Stargazer|talk]]) 20:10, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
== Reorganize Aon list ==
::I disagree. If you look at her outstretched arm and its relationship to the Aons, Hoid, and Tress it and the Aons are oriented towards Tress while Hoid is coming in from the side, surprising Riina, and throwing up the Edo Aon (supplemented with what looks like Daa Aons for power) that protected Tress as described in the book. She doesn't have a battle with Hoid; he stops the curse and from their it's just dialogue. The only contradiction is that the text describes Hoid imposing himself between Tress and Riina instead of off to the side but the way the illustration is drawn clarifies that Riina is targeting Tress with the Aonic formation.

::: I just find it questionable to use the art in Tress as a form of undeniable canon. These aren't as focused on being informative a things such as the Folios, Sketchbooks, and such from Stormlight. These are just illustrations of Howard Lyon's personal interpretation of scenes. [[User:Firesong|Firesong]] ([[User talk:Firesong|talk]]) 06:01, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
::::That is fair. As I pointed out the illustration doesn't exactly line up with the text of the book (and given that the text is in universe narrated we don't know how well it lines up with what actually happened) but I would argue it's safe to accept it as broad strokes canon. At the very least I would assume it's not just Lyon's personal interpretation and he was coached on what Aons to include given that the Edo/Daa array (and Shao in Charlie's case) makes perfect sense in context of the narrative. [[User:Lacrossedeamon|Lacrossedeamon]] ([[User talk:Lacrossedeamon|talk]]) 06:17, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
:::: Personally, I would say that with Isaac art directing, I imagine the Aons in the image were very much chosen intentionally. --[[User:Stargazer|Stargazer]] ([[User talk:Stargazer|talk]]) 08:46, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
==Aon Daa==
In the aforementioned painting, Hoid uses Aon Daa to modify Aon Edo. Is this use of Aon Daa canon? Do we know for what purpose these Daa Aons were added, and what they do to the Aon equation? Also, should someone add the use of Aon Edo to block other Aons to this? It currently sounds like Aon Edo can only be used to block physical attacks, not attacks using investiture. [[User:Enochole|Enochole]] ([[User talk:Enochole|Talk]]) 21:57, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
: My opinion would be that, given Isaac's art direction, we could consider the use of Edo and Shao to be canonical, but I don't think we can really say what the exact purpose of Daa was there. --[[User:Stargazer|Stargazer]] ([[User talk:Stargazer|talk]]) 20:12, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
== Spacing in footnote ==
The sole footnote has a weird space before "material" that isn't present in the template. Bug in the hack that makes WoBs? [[User:Nitpicking|Nitpicking]] ([[User talk:Nitpicking|talk]]) 01:28, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
:I guess so? I have no idea why that’s there or how to fix it. I wish I could, because now that you point it out I can’t unsee it. [[User:Enochole|Enochole]] ([[User talk:Enochole|Talk]]) 01:59, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
: What's happening here is that it's forcing the footnote across multiple columns. I'll see if I can find a way to fix that. --[[User:Stargazer|Stargazer]] ([[User talk:Stargazer|talk]]) 20:07, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
== Elantris 10th Anniversary ==
It says that this article isn't updated with information from the 10th anniversary edition of Elantris. I'm pretty sure it has been now, should that be taken out? [[User:Enochole|Enochole]] ([[User talk:Enochole|Talk]]) 16:19, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
