** Aluminum tends to NoSell Investiture - this is seen most dramatically in ''WaxAndWayne,'' (with the guns, ammo, and [[TinfoilHat hats]] that don't react to Allomantic Pushes or Pulls) though it has been stated to [[ImmuneToFate not cast an atium shadow]]. In addition, [[Literature/TheEmperorsSoul ralkalest]] (a metal that is immune to [[{{Retconjuration}} Forgery]]) is aluminum [[CallARabbitASmeerp under a different name]].

* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** Originally, the Cosmere was to have nine Mistborn books and seven Dragonsteel books; with ''Literature/TheAlloyOfLaw'' growing into a Mistborn Era all of its own, Mistborn cycle was changed to thirteen novels. Meanwhile, Dragonsteel was cut, first to five, then to three books.
** The first cut of what now became Dragonsteel was ''The Liar of Partinel'', bits of which are now available online. The novel is now considered uncanonical, with bits of it cannibalized for other novels, and the eventual ''Liar'' rewrite being pushed from one of the first Cosmere novels to one of the last.

** All the magic systems are powered by Investiture, but the harnessing method differs wildly from magic system to magic system. Similarly, Investiture (regardless of source) can be used to power any magic system in the Cosmere, but it might require a bit of hacking and kludging to get it to work.
