ryll

Ryll is a fictional substance that appears in the world-building of the author Brandon Sanderson. It is a form of magical energy or fuel that is central to the technology and society of the Scadrial planet in the Mistborn series. Ryll is a crystalline substance that, when properly refined, can be consumed to provide individuals with temporary access to magic. The specific type of magic accessible depends on the metal or metals with which the ryll has been infused.

The creation and refinement of ryll are complex processes, often involving specialized alchemical techniques and careful handling due to its volatile nature. The scarcity and controlled distribution of ryll have historically led to significant social stratification and political power struggles on Scadrial. Different factions and governments have sought to control its production and access, making it a key element in the ongoing conflicts and plots within the Mistborn novels. The economic and societal impact of ryll is profound, influencing everything from warfare to everyday life for those who can afford or access it. The nature and applications of ryll continue to be explored and expanded upon as the Mistborn saga progresses.
