Fantasy Author Brandon Sanderson(Mistborn books, last 3 WoT books) is a hard core/long time M:tG player. Big fan of .Yeah but I think you mean the last 2 wot books and a mistborn book with wot names. Lol sorry but as a fan of both I can honesty say they have a very similar endings. The biggest disappointment was how he did fain.

I am on the last Mistborn book now (Hero of the Ages). I can't give a true opinion on the issue of HotA and MoL being too similar. That being said I started WoT when book 4 came out and I was a little disappointed at how some of what I thought were major issues were just ended with a "there you go" flair.

While he did an admirable job stepping up and filling Jordan's shoes, he left wayyy to much unsaid! Not only was the series long confrontation with fain completely downplayed. But wtf, was I the only one slightly confused by the ending? How are rand and ishamael tied together??

It has to do with the "crossing the streams" at then end of Crown if Swords. It seems their balefire strikes caused a physical link in there bodies.

There are numerous allusions to the idea that they are "merged" after the end of CoS. The one that stands out is when Ishy starts having pain in his hand and blurry vision after Rand plays catch the fireball.

On topic: according to MaRo's blog, Felicia Day was at Wizards not long ago. She doesn't play, but I think MaRo talked her into giving it a try.
