Did you know that almost all of Brandon's adult fantasy works are all set in the same universe? It's true! They are all in a universe called the [[cosmere]], sharing the same mythology, rules to the magic, and more. As such, there will likely be spoilers for other series in the articles you read, since a lot of it is connected! If you'd like to learn about the cosmere, check out: ==Featured Article==▼ '''Allomancy''' is a magic system from the ''[[Mistborn trilogy\|Mistborn]]'' that allows users, known as '''Allomancers''', to "burn" (or use) ingested metals, thereby enhancing various physical and mental capacities. For an additional burst of power, an Allomancer may burn their metal(s) especially quickly, consuming them at an accelerated rate, but gaining greater benefits from them; this is referred to as "flaring" metals. A person who is only able to burn one of the metals listed below is known as a '''Misting'''. Anyone capable of burning more than one metal is capable of burning all of them; these people are known as '''Mistborn'''. <div class="cosmere-overview"> ~~'''([[Allomancy\|more...]])'''~~ [[Cosmere]] [[Adonalsium]] [[Seventeenth Shard]] [[Shard]]s [[Realmatic Theory]] [[Splinter]] [[Hoid]] [[Investiture]] [[Perpendicularity]] </div> Looking for something in a specific book or series?
