Only one magic system, [[Surgebinding]], has been confirmed to allow access to the Cognitive Realm. However, all Shardworlds have their own ways of reaching it.{{wob ref|7666}} Since Galladon and Demoux are somehow able to worldhop, it is likely that [[AonDor]] and [[Allomancy]] or one of the other [[Metallic Arts]] allows access to the Cognitive Realm. This is further confirmed by the fact that someone from [[Scadrial]] accessing [[Shadesmar]] is a plot point for a future book.{{wob ref|7265}} Additionally, someone associated with [[House Venture]] is known to have been operating a mercantile through the [[Pits of Hathsin]] before [[Kelsier]] destroyed it.{{msh ref|2|1}}{{wob ref|1514}}
 
At some point in Sel's distant past, [[Odium]] killed the [[Vessel]]s of both Devotion and Dominion and Splintered the two Shards.{{article ref|The Letter}} The collective power of the Splintered Shards became somehow trapped in the [[Cognitive Realm]], and is now what Selish people call the [[Dor]].{{bookau ref|arcanum unbounded}} Because of this, while travel to Sel is possible via the Cognitive Realm (for example, one can use a [[Perpendicularity]] that exists in the form of [[The Lake|a pool of sapphire-colored liquid]] near Elantris), the raging uncontrolled power of the Dor makes travel in that manner "really tough"{{wob ref|1078}}{{17s ref|post|408044}}.
 
There is a hidden economy of sorts that has grown around worldhopping. For instance, there is a caravan between Nalthis and Roshar that was used by [[Vasher]] and [[Vivenna]].{{wob ref|11992}} This interplanetary trade network also includes a version of a postal service.{{wob ref|12626}}
