Its not building a world, it’s merging several worlds and then saying the physics all match up and the magic only works in one way or another while not working in other areas. Dudes got like 80 books or some shit. Unless he was really just using the same stuff over and over which would get tired by the second or third series, I just don’t see how it would blend well.

it sounds like you won’t, but I have read everything published and the numerous magic systems all feel very unique, but are based on a very sound central logic
one of his foundational tenets in writing magic systems is something like exploring the limits of a magic system before you expand it, and he absolutely does that
mistborn’s second trilogy is a perfect example of that, there’s not new magic, or at least not much of it, but a remixing of what was in the first trilogy and all of the implications of that remixing was more than enough for the second trilogy
