I would very much love this

Wanted to let you know that I love these featured theory articles. I did have one point I disagreed with. It seems that the physical aspect of AonDor is the physical land and location itself. All of the Aons have model the land itself, and the farthest you get from Elantris, the less effective AonDor is. This means that the physical location of Elantris and the area around it is essential (even if the range is considerable farther than that area). That would then free the drawn Aons themselves to be the Cognitive aspect. The detail required to fashion the exact effect you want reminds me of the cognitive aspect of Awakening. One might argue that drawing the Aon is a physical thing, however it seems like you make a similar leap with the commands needing to be spoken. It is merely a way of communicating the cognitive. Not all magic systems can be activated by thought
