It's an unprecedented deal for the author, whose 'Mistborn' series and 'The Stormlight Archive' are being eyed for film and television adaptation, respectively.
As an author he’s well known for his magic systems he creates. I haven’t read all of his different worlds but that’s what I’ve learned his thing is. Not sure about the rest of his world building but apparently the systems he creates are well received by most
You’re not wrong. In fact, most of his ideas on how to get magic are really, really dangerous for kids.
One gives you magic from swallowing pennies. One might give you magic if you got really sad and tried to jump in front of a train to save a puppy. One of them explicitly gives you magic for catching diseases.
Its honestly a terrible idea to try to adapt any of this to a wide audience.

That’ll probably be the first thing to go
