Ars Arcanum
Ars Arcanum (Latin for "The Art of Mystery") is a glossary or appendix section at the end of the books that are part of the Cosmere universe. The information is presented from an in-universe perspective.[1]
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, which is the Ten Essences, tabulates the gemstones used in Surgebinding.
Every Ars Arcanum is written by Khriss. The illustrations from the various books are made by Nazh.[2]
