Hoidoltaits

Hoidoltaits is a term that appears in certain fictional contexts, notably within the cosmere, a shared fictional universe created by author Brandon Sanderson. In this universe, hoidoltaits refer to a specific type of gem or crystalline substance that possesses unusual properties. These properties are often linked to the inherent magical systems within the cosmere, such as Investiture, which is the fundamental force powering magic.

The exact nature and function of hoidoltaits can vary depending on the specific story or planet within the cosmere where they are encountered. However, they are generally depicted as valuable and rare, often sought after for their ability to store, channel, or manipulate Investiture. This makes them crucial components in various magical devices, enchantments, or even as components in the creation of sentient beings or artificial intelligences.

While their specific applications are diverse, the underlying concept of hoidoltaits is their role as a physical medium for magical energy. They are not a naturally occurring phenomenon in the real world but a purely imaginative element designed to serve the narrative and world-building needs of the cosmere. Their presence adds a layer of complexity to the magical systems and contributes to the unique lore of Brandon Sanderson's interconnected stories.
