I've only been on the shard for a few weeks, but I decided to make this, because why not? Hit me with your best questions, and I shall answer them.

Is this a RP thing, or is it an ask an expert thing?

It’s like every other AMA. Ask me any question in your mind about me, about life, or about anything you can think of.

For example: What’s your favorite color? or what is the purpose of a rubber duck? (To answer my own questions, my favorite color is black, and rubber ducks provide entertainment for small children who think taking baths are a form of torture forced upon them by their parents.)

So, any questions?

Huh, I've never heard of an AMA before (I know that probably makes me sound quite ignorant), but alright.

  1. What's your favorite magic system in the Cosmere and why?
  2. What's your favorite character in the Cosmere and why?
  3. What's one thing you are worried or anxious about in regard to the future of Cosmere stories?

Under General Discussion there’s a whole AMA section.

1. I really like the Selish magic system. The AonDor is just so cool, and to me it seems much more elegant than, say, Allomancy.

2. My favorite character is Wayne. His “trades” are literally hilarious, and he’s a really interesting person.

3. The only thing I’m worried about is how far Brandon has planned ahead. He foresees to finish the Cosmere when he’s about 70, I think, and what if something happens to him? That would be terrible by itself, but that also means the overall story would go unfinished. Even though someone else would probably finish it for him, I’m worried we won’t receive the best possible Cosmere.

What makes you so honorable? 

I dunno. I got the name idea from Star Wars Rebels: S2 E17: "The Honorable Ones." I liked it, then realized it also fit with lots of Cosmere characters. Kaladin, for example (hence the profile photo). I decided to make it my profile and here I am.

"The Honorable One" just sounded cool to me. It doesn't really say anything about me---It's just a name I picked.

Makes sense. My favorite is Hemalurgy, as it just has so many secrets to unravel and because you can use it to make just about any change to an organism you want. Plus, it's been mentioned by Brandon that it's something that transcends all other magics.

Questioner

I was wondering if a Hemalurgic spike would take surges, or if it could take a spren bond? Would it interact at all for that?

Brandon Sanderson

Hemalurgy can interact with every one of the magics. I designed it specifically in writing Mistborn for future use. Because some of the magics are so limited by their planet I wanted one that transcended all of them and Hemalurgy is very important to the entire cosmere. Its invention is a thing of great power and great danger to the entire cosmere.

Yeah, he's pretty great :D

I think my favorite character is either Dalinar (for his ideals and maturity. Plus there are some scenes that are funny with him) or Kelsier (as he was the first character I read about in the Cosmere and I like his charisma and personality).

That's a valid concern. I hope that Dan Wells does a good job at helping Brandon out with writing more stories.

What is your best line you have ever said?

On graffiti (to no one in particular):

“If you’re going to write on the walls, at least have the decency to spell everything right. I don’t want to look at ‘I hate this scool’ every time I use the bathroom.”

I don’t know if that’s my best, but it’s one I like.

Hemalurgy is cool, but it’s a little… barbaric for my tastes. And Dalinar and Kelsier are up there for me too.

Yeah, it can be, particularly when the villains use it. I'd really like to see it used for more altruistic means, such as when Wax and Wayne reused some of Dumad's spikes.

Which mistborn era is better?

I'd have to say era one. Era two just got really confusing, since it had all the other Cosmere stuff in it. Era one was just completely Mistborn, and I like that. Era two had some great characters and plot points, but overall I prefer the OG era.

@The Honorable One

1. What is your favourite book in the Stormlit Archive?

2. If you had to choose one Brandon Sanderson series to be the main character in, which one would it be?

3. Out of all of the powers in the cosmere, which one would you choose to have in real life?

1. Words of Radiance, all the way. Oathbringer is also good though.

2. Be the main character? Probably the Rithmatist. Everybody else goes through too much trauma.

3. Assuming I'd have the necessary materials to perform the magic, (metals, stormlight, etc.) I would choose to be an Elantrian. Drawing in the air? Count me in!
