Episode notes
Three Realms Structure The Cosmere
- The Cosmere is structured by three interlinked realms: Physical, Cognitive, and Spiritual.
- Every magic system and Shard interaction arises from how these realms connect and overlap.
Magic Is Grounded In Physical Law
- The physical realm follows familiar physical laws but includes investiture-tied phenomena.
- Sanderson grounds magic in physical mechanics, making effects predictable and interactable.
Magic Competes With Physical Forces
- Many Cosmere powers operate via competition with physical quantities (mass, force, weight).
- Effects reverse or change depending on relative mass and force, making magic consequence-driven.
