* Early versions of Elantris contain information about how Seons were created, and how they died, as well as additional elements of their magic. Those ideas are not cannon and may never turn into actual elements of the Seon's nature.

* Early Seons were created by the Elantrians and were very, very tiny. Hundreds of the first Seons could fit on the head of a pin. The later, full-sized Seons were an offshot of those tiny ones. The tiny Seons had been commanded to reproduce. They did extensively, and covered every surface in Elantris which was why everything glowed.

* Seons could release or actualize their Aon, executing the magic of their Aon. However, they could only do so once, and in doing so they would die. When the Seons died, their bodies would leave a residue. At the Reod, all the tiny Seons died, and left behind a residue, which was why all of Elantris was covered in slime. After the Reod, the actualization of their Aon would have undesirable results. (http://www.theoryland.com/intvmain.php?i=977#197)

* While not obvious, they had physical bodies. They could not pass through walls.

* There was some subtle variation to the size and color of Seons, [[Seon Dio|Dio]] was described as smaller than Ashe, with a slight blue tint.

* If the Seon's master was taken by the Shaod, their lost of sentience was permanent, and was considered "death".
