For example, the books in the [[Mistborn trilogy]] each have an Ars Arcanum with the table of [[Metallic Arts]], describing what each of the [[Allomantic]] metals does. The Ars Arcanum in ''[[The Way of Kings]]'' tabulates the gemstones used in [[Surgebinding]].
 
Every Ars Arcanum is written by the same person.{{qa ref|988|10|Who writes that part?|date=2012-12-6}} It is not Hoid,{{ref|name=jacket}} but a member of the 17th Shard.{{qa ref|632|4}} The illustrations from the various books are made by [[Nazh]].{{qa ref|1048|58}}
 
== Speculation ==
{{theory}}
Brandon has stated that [[Khriss]] knows more about the cosmere than anyone, with Hoid and Nazh well behind her, leading to the assumption that Khriss is the writer of the Ars Arcanum.{{qa ref|1069|16}} Sanderson has avoided confirming or denying this,{{qa ref|1108|29}} but since Nazh has been making sketches and collecting information in her employ, it seems very likely.{{ref|name=nazh}}##
