doesnt not look anything like Mistborn to me, more like Xmen maybe, with a bit of Jumper thrown in for good measure. Telekenesis has been the subject of movies and books for a very very long time.

There was already a thread about this and it got moved somewhere else.

I haven't looked around much, since I'm on a mobile, but Mr. Sanderson (or anyone who knows) did you have Sazed planned to be the Hero of Ages from the beginning or was that something that fell into place while you were writing?

He planned that from the beginning; read the first chapter header of the first chapter of Mistborn. :)

Wow....That's interesting. I was confused what you meant for a second, but then I skipped back from Chapter 1's epigraph to the Prologue epigraph...Very cool.

Yes, if I remember correctly Brandon mentioned early on that if someone carefully read the epigraph and thought about it really hard they would know who the Hero was.

And some people on the forum, as I remember, did have the theory that the "on his arms" thing meant Feruchemy. I called it silly.

Oh, how wrong I was... hahaha.

"So few theories that turned out to be RIGHT" would be a better phrasing of that one. There were plenty of theories :P

I still think Mist burning should be a Hemalurgical ability. I mean, IT JUST MAKES SO MUCH SENSE!!!!!!

Not only that, but the look of the world would be entirely different....I mean, Breeze definitely has style. Therefore, the world would probably be red...Maybe.
