Awakening is a powerful magic system from the planet Nalthis that is spreading throughout the cosmere. This magic system first found in the book Warbreaker by Brandon Sanderson has many complicated elements that all wrap together to make an inventive and colorful magic system. But what if there's more to Awakening than meets the eye? What if Awakening is really just a bunch of individual cosmere principles slapped together and codified, and isn't really that unique of a thing? In this video, Jason explores what awakening is, how it works, and what it can tell us about the cosmere through its relationship to living investiture. The various types of invested entities.

The Heralds are some of the most important and most mysterious characters in the Stormlight Archive. These incredibly powerful magical beings were chosen by Honor do be his champions and warriors. For the past 6,000 years, The Heralds have protected and guided humanity until they couldn't take the pain anymore. This video explores the magical abilities of these keystone characters and explains how they operate and why they're so important. Echoes of things these characters can do can be found in other books such as Mistborn, Warbreaker, Elantris, and other works by Brandon Sanderson. This video relies heavily on information from the most recent Stormlight Archive Book, Wind and Truth. If you haven't read that I would recommend you stay away.

Rhythms and Tones pervade the cosmere. An attribute of investiture and magic systems that wasn't explored until recent books, but is a concept that influences the entire cosmere. This video will explore the nature of Rhythms and Tones in the Cosmere as well as how they influence a mysterious part of Brandon Sanderson's Magic Systems in the form of Resonance abilities. While subtle and hidden, evidence of Rhythms and Tones can be found across many cosmere books and worlds such as Mistborn, Elantris, The Stormlight Archive, Warbreaker, and more! This video will go over how people travel from planet from planet and explain what a perpendicularity is. I hope you enjoy the video.
