Philomath

Sorry. Yes I will go. And those rats are cute. First clue: This character is street smart.

The ardent from one of the interludes with the fire spren. Oh. Just looked up his name. Ashir.

Kelsier

Vin?

Kaladin?

Cultivation?

You got it. Nice job.

No. Good guesses though. This character experienced a crisis of faith.

Nope. This character is kind to unexpected people.

I like it. It makes me think of trying to work against a current in a river. Start at the top (spiritual) and it is easy. Start in the middle (cognitive) and it requires more work but not nearly as much as starting at the bottom (physical).

Nope. This character is well respected.

She's my standard non main royal guess. Okay first clue: This character was once human.

Fafen?

You got it. Next clues would have been "this character has a misunderstood religion" "this character has distinctive speech patterns" and "this character is not the most optimistic"

Nope. Good guesses. This character is male.

So I get to do one? Okay. This character is not native to the main location(s) of story events.

I just finished re-reading Elantris recently and thought it actually could be a great entry point to a cosmere movie series. The magic is incredibly visual (like others mentioned similar to Dr Strange) and I think it has a really good cast of characters. Mistborn is definitely more popular it seems but half the magic is not as visual. Although I would be interested to see how it turns out regardless of where they start. I think Brandon has done a pretty good job of having a diverse cast of characters. So I don't think too much switching would have to be done in the interest of diversity. I'd be fine with it going either way.

Denth?

Rashek?

When your preschooler tells you about their drawing finger that helps them practice writing letters in the air and you tell him about a book you just finished re-reading where they use magic by drawing special symbols in the air to make different things happen. Complete with showing Aon pictures. And then they try it and are sad when they can't get it to work. Also when your toddler hasn't been sleeping great at night and while trying to drift off, you vaguely wonder which cosmere magic system would help him sleep better. And then when you are more conscious you actively try to figure it out. Right now I am thinking an unsealed bronze metalmind. Then I can tap the wakefulness that they stored while sleeping. Also. You just finished a re-read of Elantris so you find yourself thinking Merciful Domi and Doloken sule on occasion. And you also wonder why if the Sharders think Adolin is too perfect and too much of a Mary Sue why they never thought that about Raoden. (Though I love both characters anyway just the way they are.)

I want to see more of Rock and the Horneaters, Rlain (Bondsmith or not) and the Parshendi who ran away and refused Stormform, and Azure/Zahel confrontation. One not on the list I think would be interesting is what happens with little Gavinor.

Kiin?

Kelsier?

I am not the biggest fan of Kelsier. It has been a while since reading The Final Empire and Secret History, so maybe on another re-read I would like him more again. But at the moment sometimes I wish he had just stayed dead. I am open to being convinced to liking him more though.

Spook?
