For those who came via Orson Scott Card, Brandon is featured again.
"Magic is what makes fantasy fantastic," someone says, "you can't apply rules to them or else it loses wonder!" I respond, "Sure, but if you want to write them you will certainly want to know how they work." Writing is all about execution, and I find applying some basic laws of physics to magic systems make them more understandable and realistic. Here, I'm going to outline my basic method for developing a magic system.

**SPOILER**
I have a theory....
I think that Clod used to be Arsteel!
Since Jewels and Denth have seen Arsteel, they might have been able to pay someone money to make Arsteel a Lifeless for a bodyguard.
The bullet question might be theoretical unless it was a surprise attack. In any other fight, a mistborn could just push all the guns themselves away. Unless someone gets tricksy with a ceramic gun or something.
You couldn't really surprise the Mistborn ebcause they can sense out metals as well, can't they?
