Waxillium is an extremely skilled Coinshot.{{book ref|mba1|1}} Perhaps the biggest mark of his mastery is his ability to regulate the strength of his Steelpushes. Generally, Allomancers find it too hard to maintain a fine control over their Steelpushes, so instead most opt to regulate the length of the time of them. Levitating without bobbing up and down, for example, requires extreme discipline that few Allomancers can achieve; most use short bursts of Steelpushes, fall down, then Push again.{{book ref|mb2|17}} Waxillium is able to apply enough pressure on a small metal rod to make it stick to the side of a table without moving the table itself with ease.{{book ref|mba1|5}}
Wax also uses his ability to form a defensive bubble around himself that doesn't affect his own metal items but Pushes bullets coming at him off course slightly; to enhance the velocity of his bullets, Pushing them after being shot to force them through an opponents cover;{{book ref|mba1|prologue}} and to travel in the air, in combination with his Skimmer ability to regulate his mass.{{book ref|mba1|
While trying to stop the Set in Bilming, Wax burned a small amount of [[lerasium]], making him a Mistborn.{{book ref|mb7|17}}{{book ref|mb7|71}}{{book ref|mb7|72}}

As a Skimmer, using iron metalminds, Wax can store his weight at the cost of being lighter than normal, and tap the storage to become heavier. Wax constantly stores his weight to make him about three-quarters of his normal weight, making him lighter on his feet.{{book ref|mb4|

Waxillium has an [[Wax's earring|earring]] with a slight [[Hemalurgy|Hemalurgic]] charge. It is unknown what type of charge it is. The earring is a feature of [[Pathism]], adherents to the religion often wear metal earrings while praying. This enables [[Harmony]] to communicate directly with him.{{book ref|mba1|3}} It was given to him by the [[kandra]] [[MeLaan]].{{wob ref|10004}}
While trying to stop the Set in Bilming, Wax gave himself an [[Electrum]] spike in his lower chest, granting him Allomantic [[duralumin]].{{book ref|mb7|69}} He also extensively studied Spook's notes about Hemalurgy, and created charts of all of the points on the body where spikes could be placed, A detailed list of the ways the spikes worked.{{book ref|mb7|15}}
