It would need some adjustments, for example it wouldnt be enough for an allomancer to say that they were "burning copper", there would need to be some kind of visual cue that it was happening. Essentially though, it would just end up being quite similar to an period drama but set in a fantasy world. It could end up being a lot easier to follow than something like Game Of Thrones due to a vastly reduced cast, but the complexities of allomancy could be difficult to translate. If they get that right though, Id be very excited for a series.(less)
