'''Worldhopping''' is an ability which is used to move from place to place in the [[Physical Realm]]. Anyone who Worldhops can go to different planets, as well as move about on the planet they're already on. So far this ability is only confirmed to be able to be used by those with access to certain manifestations of [[Investiture]]. (note that worldhopping is not instantaneous movement akin to teleportation, a quote from brandon sanderson: (paraphrased) if you plan to worldhop often, a longer life expectancy is useful)▼

{{theory}}
Worldhopping is possible in several ways: the first is to travel via space (since all the
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]].{{au ref}} 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"{{
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}}
