I’m embarrassed to say that I have encountered this, this particular type of story on multiple occasions… So I got curious, is there a name to this trope?

    Yeah, Sanderson earned the cred on the original trilogy. It’s a fantasy series, but the magicians are basically Jedi. Great stuff!

      And the powers, as in all the Cosmere, has limits which balances it out.

      No endless pushes, flying, etc. every world has some resources or constraint so you’re not left with a “Superman” kind of scenario.
