Cool...thanks. Missed that part.
"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.

Yeah, I've been following his tweets and I'm amazed that he accomplishes as much as he does in a day. I know if I tried to do this it would take me at least twice as long as Brandon and it wouldn't be half as meticulous. The man is amazing!
Didn't you know? Brandon's the one who holds the 16th shard, Creativity.
Somehow, we wouldn't really be surprised.
Publish? No. But it will probably go in the deleted scenes section for Warbreaker. It's a Cosmere book. Aspects of it were later used in Warbreaker, Mistborn, and even Way of Kings. There are only 22 chapters.
I admit to being just a little irritated at Mr. Sanderson for posting on Facebook every half hour.
