I know from reading your blog and various other comments that many of your books are in the same cosmos/universe, specifically Mistborn, Elantris , Warbreaker , and Way of Kings . I also am pretty sure that one day you’d like to do a series that ties all the different series/books together into one super-series. So my question is, would the various magic systems work on different worlds? For example, would a Mistborn be able to use his/her abilities in the world Way of Kings is located on?
It depends on the magic system. They are all related to a kind of “Spiritual DNA” that one gets from their heritage on a specific planet. However, there are ways around that. (Hemalurgy, for example, ‘staples’ a piece of someone else’s soul to your own, and creates a work around to give you access to magic you shouldn’t have.) Some of the magics are more regionally tied than others. (In Elantris , you have to access the Dor, which is very regionally influenced.)
The end answer is this: With in-depth knowledge of how the magics work, and their connection, one could probably get them all to work on other planets. It may take effort for some of them.
