Episode notes
Nature Of Emotional Allomancy
- Breeze frames Allomantic soothing as an enhancement of existing persuasion rather than total mind control.
- That framing masks how his power effectively removes choice by amplifying one emotion and damping others.
Weigh Consent When Influencing Emotions
- Consider the ethical cost before using Allomantic influence to recruit or persuade people.
- Avoid pushing people into life-risking choices when their consent may be shaped by manipulated emotions.

- The rebellion risks replacing one hierarchical domination with another if freed Ska simply serve a new ruler.
- Kelsier's plan raises questions about freedom versus security under a single power.
