Mistborn | Magic System Explained
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 июл 2024
- Brandon Sanderson is well known for his well thought out and detailed magic systems. He is likely responsible for the popularity of hard magic systems in modern fantasy. And of all the novels under his belt, Mistborn probably has some of the most iconic systems within its pages.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with the concept of a hard magic system, allow me to elaborate...

I’ve been working my way through your older videos, and they’re just as concise and informative as all of the rest I’ve seen. Keep it up. I’ve been watching the sub count grow from the sub 100 number. Looking forward to you getting that silver play button!
Thank you so much for your kind words and for being such an awesome member of this growing community! And I doubt a silver play button is anywhere in my near future, but your confidence in my ability brings a smile to my face :)
I'll come back to this video once I finish Mistborn Era 1. I'm currently reading the first book.
Until then, I gotta say you have a nice voice.
I've been hesitant to jump into the cosmere for it's depth and you just convinced me to start mistborn!!! If you were an allomancer, you'd be a rioter fs!
Lol thanks for the kind words! :)
Do it, Mistborn is incredible and then storm light is denser and even more incredible
Can someone help me out with the Pushing and Pulling of metals. Like what do they actually mean?
It's like a form of telekinesis(moving objects at a distance with magic powers), except it's only metal objects (any metal), and it's only in a straight line towards or away from the center of the allomancer's body. Similar to two magnets having the same or opposite poles facing each other.
Normal physical forces apply, so if the person has more mass than the object they are pushing or pulling on, the object will move. If the object is more massive than they are, or it's anchored to something more massive, the person will move towards or away from it. If they are approximately equal they will be pushed or pulled on equally, possibly moving both if they aren't anchored.
Only Mistborn can burn more than one Allomantic metal to fuel their Allomancy, so only they can both push and pull while burning the Steel and Iron within them.
@@votalis4089 almost any metal.
Thank you for the spoiler alert! I'm barely half way through with book 2 of this series! I'll watch the rest of your video in a couple months when I finish the trilogy!
I've read Elantris, Warbreaker, and I'm current with Stormlight Archive: now I'm learning Mistborn!
Lol no problem. You should enjoy the book you're on and take your time. Also let me know when you're done with Mistborn because then you'll be pretty close to where I'm at with Cosmere reading ;)
Great breakdown
I would love for them to pick up the mistborn series on another platform. A television series on one of the streaming services, a new video game on pc or console, a movie, anything! ( however with such a complex magic system it seems like it was made for a video game don’t you think?) It’s such an amazing series of books. My only complaint is that I’ve been waiting for the next Wax and Wayne book for what seems like forever. However I know Sanderson writes a lot of series. Still pick up the pace man! I introduced these books to my 70 yr old mother and even she has lost her patience lol. W

on November 15th 2022 your wish is granted
Huh what do you mean!
Huh what do you mean!
I would definitely consider aon dor to be a soft magic system. You can do pretty much anything with them, with the only real restrictions that you have to be near elantris, you have to draw the aons, and the symbol, the landscape, and the city have to look similar. Aside from that, there's really not many limitations. For the majority of the book though, elantrians themselves function almost as a hard magic system. They cant die, but they also cant heal, so they can end up loosing their mind if they take too much damage. It isn't really until the end that the magic transitions from hard to soft
Great video! Keep it up
Thank you so much!
A ferrochemist pro athlete would be sick lol
3:46 actually, it would be all of their physical abilities:strength, endurance, durability, speed, agility, and balance.
Also, could you please cover the Inheritance Cycle magic system?
I will when I get to reading it 😅
1:31-1:48 It does have magic, but there aren't many people who can use it. So few in fact that many people in the setting either don't believe it exists or that it doesn't exist anymore.
This is what I was trying to get across thanks :)
@@RavensRants I just wanted to clarify it. Wasn't sure if that's what you were saying.
But if you can burn iron, why cant you burn steel? Steel is just iron with its pinky up. Just joshing about - mistborn series is one of my absolute favorites. Great video!
Personally, I would lightly alter the magic system as I hate(not literally) “they are the chosen one” trope. Don’t get me wrong, it can be good if written correctly, but I still have a personal grudge against it, as I like the idea of a person being one of many and just making their way up in the world and defeating the antagonist(s) with what they have through creativeness(doesn’t mean chosen one like characters can’t be creative btw, just find it more impressive if someone uses what they have). Mistborns aren’t necessarily “chosen ones” but also sort of emanate the aura of the chosen ones due to their ability to use any metals. Personally I would make it so you(by you I mean most people within the book) are able to burn all metals but can only burn one metal at birth well. However, the more you eat a metal the more adapted your body becomes and the more effect the metal has. Mistborns can simply be individuals who already have this extreme effect with all metals without having to consume a lot of that metal.
Regardless of my personal gripes, I really love the magic system he created due to it’s pure creativeness! I really hope to hear more about his creative magics in the future and he takes pride in his work, because it is extremely creative and I am jealous!
Lol someone really doesn't like the chosen one trope 😂
@@RavensRants Yep. To make it clear though don’t have a hate for it. Just an extreme dislike for it and bias against it.
@@TheeQueenjuni soooo.... a hate?
Your changes are interesting and I get why you would alter Mistborns. I hate the trope too lol.
Currently reading The Final Empire though so I don’t have an opinion about Mistborns lol.
This would make it so rich people on Scadrial have even more power than the Skaa. Finding metal to burn isn't easy without money.
I think that Allomancy being hereditary but originaly a symbole of the ruling class adds to the overall worldbuilding.
They are the chosen ones, the ones with the "good genetics".
Making it so everyone can burn metal and learn how to burn everything at a certain level would change so much of the world that it wouldn't be the same story anymore.
You just replaced a trope by another you enjoy more.
It's fine, I just don't think it's worth it because the "chosen one" trope in Mistborn is used very well and turned on its head at least a couple times.
The video is well done, but I feel the Spoilers at the end are pretty big. I would not have wanted to know anything in that last section before reading, nor anything about the third magic type.
Basic Allomancy and Feruchemy rules are plenty for someone before reading the books, imo.
He did say at about 11:45 that there are some spoilers ahead.....
But really question is how swole can
Ferrochemists get?
Like is there a point where they reach peak swoleness? they continue to grow stronger, but stop physically geting bigger.
Alternatively.
If there is no peak to their muscularity what would happen their bodies, what would that look like?
GoT is a hard magic system, there are rules, but they are not written down in plain sight, you have to deduct them. Dragon binding, greenseeing and warging follows certain rules that can be written down as a list once deduced
Like OP said, it’s not always one or the other. It more like a sliding bar. In a hard magic system they are explained by the author, GoT doesn’t do that. There is nothing wrong with a soft magic system, and I love GoT, but I definitely wouldn’t say that’s a hard magic system.
What is the music in this Video?
It's all from the RUclips audio library
I appreciate your Dissemination of the subject matter.
Thank from sparing me from reading this rubbish.
you need to be more exciting
I think physics would be easier to understand
🥲🥲
