Ruin and Preservation from the MISTBORN series, for example, were shards of Adonalsium.
So I know it's a stretch, but might Sanderson's metaphysics for his Cosmere have drawn some inspiration from Jewish mysticism?

It's not a stretch at all. I don't know specifically about anything Cosmere-related, though I probably did once...because I saw an interview somewhere quite some time ago in which he specifically mentions Qaballah [however that's spelled]...along with several other mythological/mystical systems he's fascinated with and uses as resources/inspiration.Mighara Sovmadhi wrote:
