Your take on “Fantasy” is very unique, and honestly I want to know your inspiration for the “magic” of your worlds.
Mistborn Allomancy has the feel of good old Newtonian Physics, push pull and equal and opposite reactions.
Stormlight brings more laws of Physics into the realm of magic.
Do you have a background in Physics? Or is it just a source of inspiration for your worldbuilding?
I do have a science background (biochemstry, actually. Wish I’d picked physics.) I did move to English after a couple of semesters, as I decided I wanted to be a writer. But I’ve always been an armchair scientist.
My inspirations are a mix of authors (mentioned in other posts if you look) and my love of the era in human history when science was a wonder. If you look back at the early discoveries in science, there’s this feel that it’s a boundless frontier with a magic all its own. That fascinates me, and I love writing about similar things happening in worlds with physics that deviate from our own.
