'''Zinc''' is the external mental pulling metal. An [[Allomancer]] burning zinc is able to inflame the emotions of those around them. It can be targeted at a single person or a group. A [[Feruchemist]] can use zinc to store mental speed. When used as a [[Hemalurgic]] spike, zinc steals emotional fortitude.
== Allomantic Use ==
A zinc [[Misting]] is known as a '''Rioter''', or '''Zinc Counselor'''{{book ref|aol|2}}. 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|aol|part=ars}} Rioting emotions can be used to increase someone's desire, determination, or anger. It can accomplish many of the same things as [[brass|Soothing]] emotions by Rioting 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}}
Very powerful Rioting can put a Hemalurgic creature under complete control of the Rioter, and once controlled, the Rioting is no longer required. This can either be achieved by a solitary [[Mistborn]] or [[hemalurgy|Hemalurgist]] burning [[duralumin]] and zinc together, a combination of a [[nicrosil|Nicroburst]] and a Rioter, or a group of Rioters and/or Soothers, though in the early days of [[Final Empire]], when Allomancy was much more powerful, a single Rioter 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 Rioters 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}}
== Feruchemical Use ==
{{icon|zinc|F|150px|thumb|right|The Feruchemical symbol for zinc}}
A zinc [[Ferring]] is known as a '''Sparker'''. Zinc is used to store mental speed. It allows the Sparker to think very quickly and come to conclusions faster. While filling a zincmind, the Sparker will be dull-witted and slow.{{book ref|aol|ars}} Storing does not affect the Sparker's ability to process physical information, such as being able to hear when they are spoken to.{{book ref|mb2|50}}
== Hemalurgic Use ==
When used as a [[Hemalurgic]] spike, zinc steals human emotional fortitude.{{book ref|mb3|ars}}
The [[kandra]] can use a pair of these spikes as a [[Blessing]] and call them the '''Blessing of Stability'''.{{epigraph ref|mb3|38}} Like all kandra Blessings, the Blessing gives the [[mistwraith]]s sentience, with the added benefit of emotional stability.
== Culture ==
Zinctongue is a colloquialism for smooth talkers.{{book ref|mb5|5}}{{msh ref|1|1}}
