Oh damn, the word of Peter.. What about the possibility of using them as leverage against the nobility?
A lot of people describe Scalzi’s Old Man's War novels as military science fiction, but I would classify its sequel Zoë’s Tale as a space opera. It’s a story about, well, Zoë, a teenage girl whose parents are invited to take leadership roles in building a colony on a new planet. Zoë is an enthusiastic member of the group sent to colonize Roanoke, despite the risks—and the risks are considerable even before the political machinations of greater powers boil to the surface.

I see two possibilities with pulling an item crossing a speed bubble, both of which say (almost) nothing happens.
1. It cannot happen, the bubble warps itself to either include or exclude any discrete item. This could have the side effect of deflecting and changing the speed of moving objects, like bullets.
2. The large change in momentum would increase the amount of force needed to move the table (that sticks out of a Bendalloy bubble). I think it would be about 100x as hard (assuming 100x speedup of time) to accelerate an outside object (or part of one) from inside of the bubble as outside of it, because it would be moving that much faster in the outside world. most objects are not that strong, so they would break at the edge of the bubble.
I'm not sure about either of these ideas, especially with such limited information to go off of, but I think #2 is better at least.
Personally I don't think there were any spren around when the Heralds were active, the herald in the proloque ( I suck at remembering names) never mentioned them, even in passing. He didn't think of his own spren, or note any pain/fear spren on a giant battlefield. Also dalinar doesn't mention a single spren in any of his visions...
