Which is your favorite Magic sistem and why?

[Matias he/him]

 

Although I really like the way that magic is activated in Roshar, Scadrial wins my vote for the way it is ordered, each with its point in favor and agains

[Rebecca she/her]

Wow, this is hard. Like, really hard. I chose Sel, but I also really love Scadrial, Taladin, and Roshar. And the others, but those are at the top.  I especially love the soul stamps on Sel. I think it’s so cool how they work, and I would probably choose that power to have over any of the others. I just find it so fascinating. And yes, I know it’s kind of like soulcasting, but I don’t know, I just find the soul stamping so cool.

Scadrial also has my vote, though I do love Surgebinding. The metallic arts are so diverse, yet very structured. It's also a very unique magic system.

Besides, who wouldn't want to be a Mistborn or even a twin born.

Scadrial. The others are well set up so it's tough, but I like the three different systems and how they tie together. In terms of real world application, Feruchemy would definitely win. Zinc compounding would be pretty good too.

Scadrial. I just love freedom that Vin and Kelsier have.

First of the Sun is really cool. I love the concept of bird that give you powers. I can't help wondering what other powers there might be.

I chose Scadrial, as it seems to be the most in depth system with the most applications. We have had seven books(counting SH) in Mistborn and still don't know everything that's going on. Also with the compounding and the medallions it is just awesome. Even then it was a super difficult choice as I also love Sel, Taldain and Roshar. 

After all, all the systems are Sanderson. They're AMAZING!

Had to go with Scadrial myself; allomancy in particular is just a really great set of powers that synergize in interesting ways, and seeing it through Vin's POV especially gives a great sense not only for how the power works but how it feels that I think few other magic systems, Brandon or otherwise, have matched. Feruchemy's not bad either, and hemalurgy is some seriously disturbing stuff. Runner-up would probably be Roshar, but I'll hold back because I think there's still a lot regarding surgebinding and, especially, voidbinding that we haven't seen yet.

Compared to other major Cosmere works, I'd have to say that Awakening always felt like a cool idea that Warbreaker never quite used to its full potential, though that's possibly because our only main Awakener character is Vivenna, who doesn't come into her powers until relatively late in the novel (there's Vasher too, of course, but he doesn't get as much focus as Viv, Siri, or Lightsong). And while a lot of Sel's magic systems are cool, they also feel the most like "traditional sorcery" of any of the Cosmere systems; AonDor has some neat mechanics behind it, but it's actual use is fairly similar to other "rune magic" systems in works like Weis and Hickman's Death Gate Cycle or Garth Nix's Old Kingdom books, and bloodsealing is fairly obvious necromancy. Overall, gotta give the metallic arts, and allomancy especially, the top spot here, with surgebinding as a number two.

It may be cheating, but I had to pick two because of my Rp character (info in my about me section) the short answer is Breaths and hair colors from Warbreaker, and Healing magic from the Elantrians.

Well, Scadrial is destroying the others!
