Brandon's books don't make me sleepy, but a lot of other books do. It's sad.
"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.

I really love how the mists are rendered in this version. 2 and 3 are stronger covers, in my opinion. Final Empire's cityscape looks immensely childish with this art style. Vin looks much better.
Interesting how "The Final Empire" is emphasized over "Mistborn". All the US versions emphasize Mistborn more.
