Objects inside of a bendalloy bubble go awry when exiting. What happens if the object is already outside of the bubble when you affect it? Normally, this isn't an issue. But it is with other allomancy. Example 1: TurboRiot Put a Rioter inside a bendalloy bubble. Can he affect the emotions of people on the outside? Example 2: Hyperdrive Wayne is standing next to Wax. Wax throws out a double handful of coins, shell casings, etc towards some bad guys. Wayne drops a bendalloy bubble as soon as the metal debris is far enough away to not get caught. The metal bits are now suspended in air just outside the bubble. Wax probably can't reach out and touch the metal, and it wouldn't gain him any advantage. But what happens if he burns Steel? Do blue lines point to the metal bits, as opposed to being in a "read-only" universe, relative to him? If the answer to Example 1 was Yes, then this answer is also likely yes. If he Pushes on a metal bit, does it go flying straight away from him? Afterall, it's not passing through the bubble. Does it distort and fly somewhere random anyway, because the enacting force (his blue line) itself has to distort through the bubble? Then you've found a way to violate (in an unpredictable and nigh-useless manner) one of the most basic principles of Steel and Iron: the immutable vector based off of your center of gravity. If you can push it in a straight line away from you, I think you could continue to add velocity to the metal bits through continued Pushing (like thrusters on space craft), turning the debris quite devestating. Thoughts?
