Hello everyone, me and my friend been thinking about making mistcloaks for our upcoming mistborn cosplays. According to the books, mistcloaks should be able to come free when pulled on, so one possible way to achieve that would be sewing in magnets into the ends of mistcloak strips to attach/remove whenever needed.
Since we'd like to make this as accurate as we can to the books, this in turn raises a couple of questions:
Is there any confirmation about the existence of magnets in the series, and their accessibility in The Final Empire itself? While The Final Empire and the nobility do use metals, it would be correct to assume that magnets were in use also one way or another.
Were magnets used as the mechanism that make the mistcloak removable, or was it due to some other mechanism/contraption, such as buttons?
And also, maybe there is Word of Brandon regarding these questions somewhere?
Thank you in advance.
