'''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.
The paired alloy of zinc used in the Metallic Arts is [[brass]].
== Allomantic Use ==
A zinc [[Misting]] is known as a '''Rioter
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]].{{wob ref|8025}} 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}} A Rioter cannot Riot themselves.{{book ref|mb2|46}}
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}}▼
Rioting inside of a [[Bendalloy|speed bubble]] could give the same effects as burning duralumin, and can still be aimed without the normal hindrances of exiting time bubbles.{{wob ref|15224}} Aluminum over the victim's head or possibly the Rioter's chest stops Rioting.{{wob ref|8223}} It can also be stopped by the helmet of a [[Shardplate]].{{wob ref|15717}}

== Feruchemical Use ==
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|

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 but it does have the odd side effect of making the user hungry.{{book ref|mb6|2}}{{book ref|mb2|50}}

=== Kandra Blessing ===
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.{{epigraph ref|mb3|38}}
== Fabrial Use ==
A [[fabrial]] with a zinc cage will increase the strength of the fabrial's function.{{epigraph ref|sa4|7}}
== Culture ==
Zinctongue is a colloquialism for smooth talkers.{{book ref|mb5|5}}{{msh ref|1|1}}
== Trivia ==
In the [[Ars Arcanum]] of [[The Final Empire]], the allomantic roles of [[Brass|brass]] and zinc were swapped. This was fixed in [[The Well of Ascension]], then repeated in [[The Hero of Ages]].
