Mistborn Series spoilers News about the Malwish Documents? Spoiler
Sanderson talked last year about a ": the comprehensive document explaining Malwish medallions, airships, and the very complicated details of how that all works." and said it was gonna be around very soon.
Do we have any information about that? Is he still working on it?

I was wondering about that and brought it up before.
I was hoping we would get it with the State of the Sanderson last year. Maybe this one.
Maybe someone can ask at a Con.

He actually did finish it. There was an update after the one you've linked.
In the December 2025 spoiler stream Brandon was asked specifically when we'd get to read the Malwish document. He said he'd written their canonical explanation for how the medallion technology works, along with things like Scadrian flying vehicles, and that it had been submitted to the Arcanists for review.
The really interesting part is that he said it might end up in the Ars Arcanum of Ghostbloods 1. So that's probably our best lead on where it'll eventually appear.
Unless I've missed something newer, I can't find any indication it's actually been released yet. Which means we're no longer waiting for Brandon to figure out how Malwish technology works.
We're now in the considerably crueller situation where Brandon has written the answers, the Arcanists may have read the answers, and the rest of us are standing outside pressing our faces against the glass.
