Resonance and Tones in the Cosmere
1,268Rhythms 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.
