Now you know what did get us out of the Traquiline Halls.

Insanity may come by getting imprisoned on Damnation for too damnation long. Or by re-reading all WoT books to fast to be able to read the last one as soon as it comes out with a fresh memory of the whole story (Done). Or by waiting too long for Stormlight flaming answers, wallowing in despair on multiple forums. We are all damnation mad, my friends. *edit: stupid autocorrect.

And the gemhearts on Roshar. You have the Stormlight, but it must be collected (better word than stored) on a gem for it to be timely (as Hoid would like to say) used. So, have we a matched pair here or am I seeing more than it has to it?

Remember that Aona and Skai were killed by Odium and their shardpool splintered. That would chance something on the magic system os Sel, wouln't it?

After just 3 days, Mr. Sanderson sent me the copies of "White Sands" and "Aether of Night". I would like to publicly thank him for this. Besides being a terrific writer, he is a very cool guy!

On Sel, where Devotion and Dominium were splintered, the magic systems are tied to specific locations. Maybe, bafore the splintering, the magic would work without this limitation, like other shardworlds. My theory is that the magic still works, but only near the shardpool - which would bind it's magic locally.

I get the feeling that Yolen was the "first" planet and the place where Aldonasium were shattered. All the original shardholders were yolish and the humans were originally from there. This feeling comes this: 1 - On the Ars Arcanun its is made some paralels using Yolish magic system as base. And it is called original system, if my memory serves me right. 2 - The original shardholders weer acquainted to each other. So there had to be a prior civilization where they could interact. 3 - The humans on all planets are a lot alike. It is granted that every shard that invested on their creation did so based on their preferences. But the end result looks like thare was some template to refer to. 4 - All the magic systems have the same underlying 'spiritual physics' that are somewhat customized by each shard influence. Your thoughts?

On thought has been bothering me Shadesmar. Does it touches (and connects) all Systems on Cosmere (like the Ethereal Plane) or do each System (or even planet) have it´s own Shadesmar version and theese Shadesmar connnects between themselves (like train hubs). Why this question is bothering me? Because of the Spren. It is said that Shadesmar is the congnitive realm and home to the Spren (that even buits cities there). If there is just one Shadesmar that connects all, shouldn´t other Systems be influenced by the Spren as they are the masters of the cognitive realm? At least until now, the Spren are tied just to Roshar.

So, it's hello! Got track of Mr. Sanderson's work when he took over WoT when Mr. Jordânia died. Started with Mistborn - good start uh? - and now I am quite hooked on Cosmere.
