Brandon Sanderson / Re: Mistborn Jewelry (and Elantris as well)

Same here.

And I support the metalmind suggestion, especially metalmind rings.

Brandon Sanderson / Re: **SPOILERS! The Shards of Adonalsium

Yeah, I did say it wasn't a strong case. I was just throwing it out there because Nightblood acts differently than anything else in Warbreaker, even with an in-story explanation. (And I put it wrong. I didn't mean to say Nightblood might be a shard, just that there might be some Shard that was involved in Nightblood's creation.)

I tend to agree that Brandon is more likely to keep us guessing than to make the Elantris system that similar to the Mistborn system. The pool god/presence is probably a shard, and possibly also the thing behind the Dor.

I'd almost be willing to bet money that the Iridescent Tones/whatever you want to call the things behind the Returned are another Shard, since Lightsong actually hears them/it talking to him.

Other possibilities:
Austre? (The god that the people in Idris worship)
Domi? (Opposed to Jaddeth. Occam's razor would say that it's just the Dor, though.)
Something to do with Nightblood (It acts... oddly and powerfully. Not particularly strong case, though.)

Brandon Sanderson / Re: ***SPOILERS Official Hero of Ages Spoilers Thread. Includes Q&A w/Brandon****

Well, after reading through this entire thread (and getting six questions raised in my mind for every one answered... The mere idea that all of Brandon's works are entwined by the Shards is mindblowing through sheer awesome epicness), then signing up for the forums, I just had two things to say that no one has mentioned here yet.

First, one of Brandon's earlier posts implies that anyone can burn atium, much like anyone can burn Lerasium. It was something along the lines of "all Obligators who weren't Mistings or Mistborn were given atium and stressed until their bodies burned it." It may, of course, have been a typo, but that would certainly be a twist.

Second, as for the other four Shards: Why has no one mentioned the Iridescent Tones (or whatever their name was), the things that send the Returned back? Lightsong's eventual remembrance of his time on the other side implies that there is an actual sentient power there. Let me get the quote.
Quote
   The God King in prison.  Lightsong had seen that too.  But above it all, he remembered standing on the other side of a brilliant, colorful wave of light, looking down at the world from the other side.  And seeing everything he loved dissolve into the destruction of war.  A war greater than any the world had known, a war more deadly--even--than the Manywar.
   He remembered the other side.  And he remembered a voice, calm and comforting, offering him an opportunity.
   To Return.
I would be surprised if it turns out it isn't a Shard, actually.
