** Reminds me of the character of Brutha in Terry Pratchet's Discworld/SmallGods. His memory is so perfect he could walk backwards through every step he has ever made in his life but as soon as he gets on a boat he is ill simply from being unable to feel where he is as he floats. Just having been somewhere could not alow anyone to calculate distance in paces if sea travel (or flying) is involved.

**The Elantrians are of Devotion, those who use AonDor are using the power of Devotion. Those chosen by the Shaod seem to express devotion to something. The pain goes away when people work towards their devotion.

** [[spoiler: One slight clarification: Odium's Splintering of Devotion and Dominion was ''not'' the cause of the Reod. It happened long before Elantris was even built.]]

** I see it more like this: the healing was a magical change. Becoming an Elantrian is a magical change. The state of painful zombie limbo is caused by an incomplete magical change that cannot finish, regardless of the result of the intended change.

* The obvious ChekhovsGun in the actual book aside, his story about his wife (corroborated by the book that Raoden realize their condition is related to an incomplete Aon effect) brings up a possibility the characters never follow up on: a simple, amateur mistake by an Elantrian turned her into a half-Elantrian, with the still heart, blotchy skin and never healing painful wounds that characterized the condition. That means that the broken healing Aon had the same effect as an incomplete Sheod, which brings up a very important question: does this mean that, using the right Aons (possibly based on the properly modified version of said broken Aon), any Elantrian could turn other people into their own kind? And if this was an actual plot-point, just what kind of ramifications would this have on the setting?
