I actually like his magic systems. Very scientific-y. If you didn't like his magic systems in Mistborn and Stormlight, don't read Elantris. ๐
The Stormlight magic system is a lot better than the metal system in Mistborn to me, but the goofiness of using essentially marbles as money just sticks with me. I just picture Adolin constantly walking around with like a cartoon money sack from a bank filled with spheres.
Heh, that is a funny image. Though, people did use to carry gold / silver / copper coins, so maybe it's not that different. Different kind of spheres for different stuff, having couple of pouches on you, rest in some chest.
