'''Zinc''' is the external mental pulling metal. An Allomancer burning zinc is able to inflame the emotions of those around him. It can be targeted at a single person or a group. Feruchemists can use zinc to store mental speed, and when used as a Hemalurgic spike zinc steals emotional fortitude.▼

A zinc [[Misting]] is known as a '''Rioter'''. Emotional Allomancy is not mind control, but it does allow the practitioner to influence the emotions of those around them. This is known as '''Rioting''' or '''Raging'''.{{book ref|mb1|7}}{{book ref|mb1|10}} The effects can be targeted at a specific individual or group and can focus on specific emotions.{{book ref|aol|part=ars}} It is easier to target a specific direction instead of at a specific individual.{{book ref|mb7|60}}
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}}
==Hemalurgic Use==▼
When used as a Hemalurgic spike, zinc steals emotional fortitude. A person with a zinc spike will be more in control of their emotions.▼
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 [[Allomancy|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}}
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}}
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]]. However, consensual use of emotional Allomancy is not forbidden, and some rioters, known as '''zinc counselors''' uses their abilities as a kind of therapy.{{book ref|mb4|2}}
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|mb4|part=ars}} Storing does not affect the Sparker's ability to take in physical information, but it does increase the time it takes to process that information. For example, a Sparker filling their zincmind will perceive words without delay, but will take longer to parse their meaning.{{book ref|mb2|50}} Tapping zinc has the odd side effect of making the user hungry.{{book ref|mb6|3}}

=== 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]].
