Bring plenty of colored handkerchiefs and a rope belt.
"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.

the Pilot was greenlightedthere a movie/show for A Song of Fire and Ice?

As long as it's not kiddy Robin Williams
Breeze: Robin Williams
He wasn't un-Returned, he simply changed his body (which according to Vasher anyone could do)
We know that Vasher has more information and experience with how to use Breath than pretty much anyone else currently living. Vasher has some way of Returning and un-Returning himself. My guess would be that as long as he's in un-Returned form, he can use up Breath just like anyone else, even to the point of becoming a drab.
Or they can't aford Atium, and there for have no Idea they have the power. And yes Expensive seems to fit best . Though I do like ShadowSeer, or Oracle.Just bring them to hathsin and lick the geodes
I have a Question, and this is not attempting to be in anyway disrespectful. Mr. Sanderson, I have read and thoroughly enjoyed Warbreaker, The Final Empire and I am currently reading The Well of Ascension. I have also read a large portion of these threads (including the 40 or so pages of the Warbreaker thread and the Fan Art thread). Now my question is this, why do you spend so little time describing the physical settings and clothing in your books? It never entered my consciousness when I was reading the books, but it really became evident when viewing the FanArt threads, especially your comments therein. Your description of the men's costumes being similar to circa 1800 England was a bit jarring as I viewed them more utilitarian ( even the nobles ' attire) more 1840's early Industrial Age England (maybe from from the way Breese was described). In any case, what I am trying to ask is whether the sketchy descriptions were intentional to coincide with the general "dark" imagryor was there another intent? Again, I'm not saying that you should have used more descriptiive language, I thoroughly enjoyed the books, but am still curious.Honestly I don't think that there will be much room for that kind of in-depth description as there is a lot of stuff that they're going to need to fit into that final book.
