I think Scadrial has the coolest magic system (allomancy being my favorite). That being said, I find the most interesting part about the magic systems to be looking for commonalities across systems and how they are built/the sources of magic. I am fascinated with how Brandon will end up tying everything together and/or crossing magic systems as investitures from different systems interact.

Good question - I would say Bondsmiths if I had to pick.

Hi All - Introducing myself to the forum here. I actually made this account in 2015 after I finished Elantris (my first exposure to the Cosmere at the suggestion of a good friend). I periodically have come to the 17th shard just looking at fan theories and Forum topics as I continued to read more of the Cosmere works. Having now read a bulk of the books/short stories I wanted to introduce myself and I plan on contributing to the forum and responding more frequently. I have read: Elantris, Mistborn Era 1 & 2 (through bands of mourning), Arcanum Unbounded, Stormlight Archive (through Oathbringer), War Breaker I believe the only thing left is White Sand. I am a big fantasy fan in general, grew up on Hobbit/Lord of the Rings, have read all of the ASOIAF books, Patrick Rothfuss, and now the Cosmere. I have to say of all the fantasy I have read, I like Brandon the best. I think the concept of creating epics within epics and building the Cosmere as a whole is incredibly ambitious so I am excited to be along for the ride and explore the worlds and content as it progresses. Favorite Character so far is tough, I would say top 3 are Kelsier, Hoid (specifically Wit), and Lopen. Looking forward to being more active on here, particularly coming up with and commenting on theories for the future of the Cosmere. Cheers
