Brooke and Tyler listen intently to guests Krishna Patel and Paul-chan as they teach us all about music theory and how Sanderson's stories blend different aspects into the magic and worlds. Our conversation begins with a description of tone, melody, and rhythms before a crescendo of speculation about how we can apply our musical knowledge to the magic systems of the Cosmere. #AllSpoilers
