I actually loved SM's ending. I feel like we never get sad endings from Brandon, and I was happy to see it. I felt like the entire book was kinda built upon the idea that Sigzil's life was sad, so I loved that the ending matched the theme.
not really. they could probably just do "break" or something like that. Elantrians are very powerful
to be entirely fair, we were talking about Shai the Elantrian, who probably doesn't know the super complicated Aons, but she might.
If shardbearers run away, seers stop burning Atium. Elantrians can basically do anything that the other magic systems can do, Shardplate can't stop things like them creating a chasm beneath the bearer or other such things.
