Attributes and Abilities

Metallic Arts

Waxillium is a Crasher; a Coinshot and Skimmer Twinborn. 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.

Allomancy

Waxillium is an extremely skilled Coinshot. 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 an down, for example, requires extreme discipline that few allomancers can achieve, most use short bursts of Steelpushes, fall down, then Push again. 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.

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, and to travel in the air, in combination with his Skimmer ability to regulate his mass. 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, although he always uses steel for his third vest button as an extra metal reserve or to use as a weapon in emergencies.

Feruchemy

As a Skimmer, 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 a about a three quarters of his normal weight, making him lighter on his feet. He also uses this ability to navigate vertically in combination with steelpushing and a shotgun. Wax doesn't tap in to his weight very often, preferring to store it to be lighter, as a result, the sheer amount of weight he can tap in to allows him to quite easily fall straight through a floor with no effort.

Hemalurgy

Waxillium has an earring with a slight 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. It was given to him by the kandra MeLaan.

Other Skills

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 Slider, scoring a lethal shot as a result. However, due to a traumatic misfire that resulted in the death of a loved one, Wax developed a nervousness when facing a hostage situation.

Wax also practices basic metallurgy as a hobby and is shown to be a talented investigator.
