Difference between revisions of "Waxillium Ladrian"

Waxillium is a Crasher; a [[steel|Coinshot]] and [[iron|Skimmer]] Twinborn.{{book ref|b|mb4|c|1}} The combination of these abilities makes Waxillium a particularly dangerous individual, since the strength of a Steelpush is largely dependent on the mass of the Allomancer.

Waxillium is an extremely skilled Coinshot.{{book ref|b|mba1|c|1}} Perhaps the biggest mark of his mastery is his ability to regulate the strength of his Steelpushes. Generally, Allomancers find it to 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|b|mb2|c|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|b|mba1|c|5}}

Wax also uses his ability to form a defensive bubble around himself that doesn't effect 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|b|mba1|prologue}} and to travel in the air, in combination with his Skimmer ability to regulate his mass.{{book ref|b|mba1|c|1}} Wax doesn't appear to use the most obvious ability of a Coinshot very often, as he had to be reminded that he could launch a bullet without a gun,{{book ref|b|mba1|c|19}} although he always uses steel for his third vest button as an extra metal reserve or to use as a weapon in emergencies.{{book ref|b|mba1|c|9}}

Waxillium has an 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|b|mba1|c|3}} It was given to him by the [[kandra]] [[MeLaan]].{{qa ref|706|12|Who gave Wax the earring?}}

Wax is a talented marksman, preferring to use two guns at once. He has been shown to shoot a bullet that was put off course by the speed bubble of a [[bendalloy|Slider]], scoring a lethal shot as a result.{{book ref|b|mb4|c|19}} However, due to a traumatic misfire that resulted in the death of a loved one, Wax developed a nervousness when facing a hostage situation.
