Difference between revisions of "Worldhopping"

Worldhopping is possible in several ways: the first is to travel via space (since all the cosmere is in a dwarf galaxy) using Allomancy and Feruchemy or AonDor (as it is used at the end of Elantris to fast travel) the other is to travel to the [[ShadesmarCognitive Realm]] using some ability of their magic system. Only one magic system, [[Surgebinding]], has been confirmed to allow access to Shadesmarthe Cognitive Realm. However all Shardworlds have their own ways of accessingreaching Shadesmarit.{{qa ref|585|8}} 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 Shadesmarthe Cognitive Realm. This is further confirmed by the fact that someone from [[Scadrial]] accessing [[Shadesmar]] is a plot point for a future book.{{qa ref|700|6}}

Once a person is in Shadesmarthe Cognitive Realm, provided they have the knowledge of how to do so, they can worldhop wherever they want.{{17s ref|post|42113}} The exact process for worldhopping is unknown, beyond the fact that it requires aleaving manipulationthe of[[Physical ShadesmarRealm]].{{qa ref|585|8}} It is possible that in the Cognitive Realm, simply visualizing yourself as somewhere else is enough to physically move you there. 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]].{{book ref|arcanum unbounded}}
