DISCLAIMER: I have only read the first Mistborn trilogy, Elantris, The Emperor's Soul, and I have started Warbreaker. Try to not spoiler any other books for me (though I have done this a little for myself by being on this site)
Okay, so I'm mainly asking this question because I have cool ideas for books I want to write, and Brandon Sanderson seems to either 1) come up with cool ideas before I can, and I come up with them independently just to find out he's already done them or 2) influence my ideas, without me realizing right away, only to realize later that I have almost plagiarized his works.
What I want know is what exactly Adonalsium is. Is Adonalsium a being, or more of a force? From what I've heard, and what I've seen of the shards (including what I've heard of other shards like Odium), it sounds like Adonalsium was a being, and it got shattered, almost kinda making new beings. Am I close?
Also, do we know if Adonalsium was always Adonalsium? If someone can take one of its shards and become a vessel, is that what happened to begin with for Adonalsium? Did someone find whatever you would call what would be like a shard for Adonalsium, and become its vessel? Also, would it be possible for someone to find all sixteen shards and take them in all at once?
Also, is there a 17th Shard in the Cosmere? Or was that just a cool name that the site was given?
Sorry if these questions have been asked and answered, I didn't do any digging in fear of spoilers.
