Magic in the Mistborn series

Appears to be non-notable WP:FANCRUFT with no encyclopedic basis - none of the references are specifically about magic in the Mistborn series, and the article simply pulls information from them. ZXCVBNM (TALK) 00:27, 23 May 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Merge a summary into Mistborn, as this is the main article for that section. While some of the material in this article strays into game guide material, the magic system is an undeniably important component of the Mistborn series and should be discussed summary style in the main article on the series. Book reviews and other secondary sources provide verifiable source material for this discussion. Per WP:ATD and WP:PRESERVE, we should strive to preserve verifiable material where appropriate and Mistborn is a reasonable target for a summary discussion. --Mark viking (talk) 17:59, 23 May 2018 (UTC)

 * Very minor merge to Mistborn and redirect. This sort of content is pretty far outside Wikipedia's scope — it's what fan wikis are for. As such, any merge should be handled very judiciously.  A  Train talk 08:11, 31 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Merge into Mistborn. It is a very important part of the series, but I think it could be covered in moderate detail in the main article without the need for this.  All of the sources are either primary or covering the series (or one of the specific books) in a broader light.  Also note that this isn't really a game guide - yes, there was a game, but the books are known far better. LittlePuppers (talk) 07:35, 2 June 2018 (UTC)
