+Slowswift Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 So, a few weeks ago, I was at a performance of the Timpanogos Symphony Orchestra (which was fantastic), a local music group. I was sitting not quite in the back row, but still far enough back that I had a good view of the auditorium. I remembered that scene from the Hero of Ages (of all the things to be thinking about during a concert ) when Vin and Elend exit the ball by Allomantically flinging themselves the length of the ballroom. It got me thinking: I wondered if, during concerts on Scadrial, the maestro ever Steeljumped onto the stage from the back of the room, or if less scrupulous composers had Soothers and Rioters planted in the audience. Maybe some musicians are Archivists and store their sheet music in their copperminds, or Sparkers who use their stored mental speed to be able to play more complicated music. In any case, aside from concerts, what parts of everyday life might Allomancy influenced? There were several hints in the broadsheets from Alloy of Law about Metalborn jobs. But I'm curious to see what else there might be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amulligan99 Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 I always thought that there could be a sport that required certain mistings and ferrings on each team to play. Maybe a modified version of football. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kipper Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 I definitely think more complicated instruments could exist for Lurchers and Coinshots, without the need for external controls to exist. On that note, completely random aside, Lurchers and Coinshots might be good with computer systems, due to the metal inside. I don't know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Honor Spren Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 I always thought that there could be a sport that required certain mistings and ferrings on each team to play. Maybe a modified version of football. Brandon once said in a WoB, that there would be allomantic sports at some point. But that they would probably have to wait until the third trilogy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

king of nowhere Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 I've been thinking that tineyes would have greater taste for food and music and visuals and basically everything. In particular, since they would be capable of noticing details that most people would miss, I think they'd appreciate different stuff, or appreciate stuff in a different way. There would probably be a market for those things dedicated specifically to the tineyes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
