This is an interesting theory, and I think that stormlight may in fact have something to do with temperature, at least with living Radiants.
When Kaladin used large amounts of Stormlight his clothes were coated with frost, and when he swore the Third Ideal the symbol of the Windrunners appeared behind him in frost. Then, when Lopen swore the Second Ideal the same thing happened.
The same also happened to Szeth when he swore himself to Dalinar, completing the Third Ideal.

New to this, so here goes,
SpoilerName: Rastor Finley
Investiture: Steel Compounder
Weapons: none; uses his fists at advanced speed to just cause mayhem
Appearance: Black-haired Scadrian
Weaknesses: Has become a Steel Savant, can't stop burning for more speed or the dependency kills him. Can't live a normal life. Steals food, never caught.
Special Skills: Can go from 100mph to 100mph in zero seconds flat.
Backstory: Taken to Roshar by a professor at Silverlight, he raced Fleet in a race and won. Of course, Fleet didn't know they were racing, so the jury's still out if it counts. Hates Kandra because one of them ate his father.

Definitely Warbreaker. First book for me, and it Connected me to the rest of the series.

I started Wheel of Time and stopped at the second book because I hated it.
I tried to read the Eye of the World four times, but couldn't finish the fifth chapter because it was soooooo dry.

I was ten when I read Warbreaker, so I was confused by Lightsong and Blushweaver talking about pleasurable pastimes. I re-read it when I was fourteen and was shocked.

I read Warbreaker when I was ten, and loved it. My mother suggested the series to me because he was a Mormon author, like Brandon Mull.
I was really confused when I first read the scene with Lightsong and Blushweaver discussing *cough cough* pleasurable pastimes.

[Mistborn]
SpoilerI'm pretty certain that the dagger is Raysium. All allomantic metals have a feruchemical and hemalurgic use, and the god metals all have their own use as well. I've proposed in the past that the Honorblades were an alloy of Tanavastium, and/or (whatever Cultivation's name is)ium, as they grant control over the Surges. I'm also convinced that the alloys of Lerasium grant singular allomancy, so if I were to ingest two varieties, lets say a gold and a zinc alloy of the original, I would be an augur as well as a Rioter. The dagger could be an alloy of Raysium tuned to Windrunners and/or Jezrien.

Recently I was recently re-reading Oathbringer and I realized that the Shin were pretty much like average Caucasians, in appearance, at least. (I do know some people who worship rocks) and I thought that there are definitely other little things that people realized, and I thought I would have a discussion in which we brought these things forth.

It's a novel theory, and if we didn't have anymore knowledge of the Cosmere as we did when maybe Mistborn came out, it would possibly make sense. Unfortunately, pretty much anyone could debunk this.

I would say The Night Watcher and The Stormfather seem more like the children of Honor and Cultivation. In support of that they refer to The Sibling. I take that as a literal and not figurative sibling. Given highspren didn't exist before Honor and Cultivation I doubt their major sprens did. It is possible the spren existed in a rough state only gaining sentience from Honor and Cultivation.
[OB]
I believe that the Sibling may have once been one of the Unmade, as Odium is the only other shard aside from Cultivation and Honor/Unity that we know of.
I also believe that the Sibling granted a tenth order of Voidbinding, but eventually through a Bondsmith-esque bond it was able to see that it was on the wrong side.
This lead to him joining the Radiants, inhabiting Urithiru in the same sense as Re-Shephir did.

I can't remember if the book said he was bald, but that would be a good way to hide the Reod, by pretending to have gone bald prematurely.
It's also possible that he had a spy or Seon (not his own, if he had one, of course) watch Raoden discover the Chasm line problem, and, having studied the Aons himself after he transformed, was able to send a decoy around while he pulled the strings. Then, when Elantris was restored he could have fled to Roshar, or even been recruited by the Ghostbloods, as Mraize states that they care not for personal morals or allegiances, as long as they stay loyal, after all, having an Elantrian in your group would be very advantageous.

I think it may be that he is being commanded to unite the other Shards in an attempt to stop Odium, as he could possible destroy all of them. They may have to work together to defeat him.
If this is the case, I think it will be a very good story, with our favorite characters from across the cosmere overcoming the challenges that the change in planet may bring.
It would also be interesting to see a battle between the heroes. (Not that I want to see any of them die)

I remember reading a summary of the Liar of Partinel, so if I get this wrong please forgive me, but I remember it states that he lost his master, and took his name. I think it's possible that Wit's master may have been the "Vessel" (not sure how the labeling for Adonalsium goes) for Adonalsium.
He may be trying to gather the Investiture of all the shards in an attempt to restore the power and bring him back.

Szeth knows how to use division because he trained with all the surges, he just doesn't use it
That is correct, but he wouldn't have used it in the same capacity of a Skybreaker. Nale had stolen it ages before Szeth began training.

Awesome ideas! Love the groupings idea. One minor consideration: Brandon is Mormon and we don't generally attribute much "mystery" to God. To try to put it better, we tend to think of God more as a knowable being, or one who wants us to come to know him, rather than a more mainstream Christian conception that he is infinite and unknowable. So I would look elsewhere to fill Enigmas slot. That said, Brandon is fully capable of incorporating beliefs outside of his own, I just wouldnt' jump to that immediately
I can personally second this point.

You raise some good points, but it's possible that what happened to Kelsier may have occurred in a similar fashion, or he may have even been Elantrian. Kiin was able to hide his son's status until the end of the book.

I was re-reading Elantris after finishing Oathbringer for the tenth time, and I remembered that in the memory of Tanalan the younger, Dalinar dismisses a older bald man with a birthmark stretching across half of his face. Elantris describes Telrii as having a giant purple birthmark that stretches across the left side of his face. I think it's too much of a coincidence to be chance. I think that Telrii may be trying to get into power on this new planet, where no one knows of his previous failure.
Well, except for Gallodon (Temoo/Grump {See interludes from WoK}) I think it would be interesting to see them meet, especially with the Radiants witnessing it.

This is something we need to see in the new book that's set to come out some day.
Knowing Sanderson and his love of being sidetracked we'll probably have to wait a few decades.
