Burning Electrum With Closed Eyes/Not Paying Attention

[Glaring at the Survivor he/him]

Technically, if you ignore your electrum shadows (made easier if your eyes are closed) your future won't change, will it? So if you ignore your electrum shadows, like it seems Vin and Elend did, would your future really change?

Of course, if you not paying attention made it not change, then you'd pay attention, so it would change. But thats a paradox... so..

[king of nowhere]

the way to test this theory is to have someone burning atium and looking at the electrum burner to see if his shadows split.

Without atium, there's no way to confirm or deny the theory.

This may be helpful, so far as whether its possible to actually shut yourself off from the input Allomantic electrum gives you.
