A brass [[Misting]] is known as a '''Soother'''. Emotional Allomancy is not mind control, but it does allow the practitioner to influence the emotions of those around them. The effects can be targeted at a specific individual or group, and can focus on specific emotions.{{book ref|mb4|part=ars}} Soothing emotions can be used to decrease someone's fatigue, fear, or happiness. It can accomplish many of the same things as [[zinc|Rioting]] emotions by Soothing all but the specified emotions. Extreme emotions in the target will interfere with emotional Allomancy.{{annotation ref|mb3|chapter=70}} Emotional Allomancy can affect animals, however it requires a certain amount of sapience.{{wob ref|3950}} Emotional Allomancy also has a more compelling effect on [[Lifeless]] compared to a regular person.{{wob ref|13062}} Soothers can affect a [[singer]]'s Rhythms and may be able to dampen [[Odium]]'s influence.{{wob ref|8424}}
Very powerful Soothing can put a Hemalurgic creature under complete control, and once controlled, the Soothing is no longer required. This can be achieved by a single [[Allomancy|Mistborn]] or [[hemalurgy|Hemalurgist]] burning [[duralumin]] and brass together, a combination of a [[nicrosil|Nicroburst]] and a Soother, or a group of Soothers and/or Rioters working together, though in the early days of [[Final Empire]], when Allomancy was much more powerful, a single Soother was able to do it.{{book ref|mb2|54}}{{book ref|mb3|3}}{{epigraph ref|mb3|21}}
After the [[Catacendre]], it is unlawful for a business to use emotional Allomancy to influence customers.{{book ref|mb5|14}} This was one of the provisions of the [[Allomantic Agreement of '94]]. There is evidence of consensual emotional counselling.{{book ref|mb4|2}}
