I don't think we appreciate how much of a departure Elantrians and the AonDor is from the rest of the Cosmere. Like Surgebinding and the Metallic Arts are very focused in their capabilities and its all creative applications of their abilities. Awakening is closer in vibe with how open ended it can be, but drop the AonDor next to a more rudimentary magic system, and it's the Wizard War meme to its full extent.

sacculina makes me go a little insane honestly and not even for strictly transgenderly reasons... its life cycle involves attaching itself to a crab, producing eggs in place of that crab's eggs, and using the female's natural "egg dispersal" technique to, well, disperse its own eggs; but what do they do if they attach to a male host? give up and die? of course not, they simply instigate a hormone cascade that fundamentally changes the crab forever. easy!
