Powers & Abilities

Ranette is a Lurcher.

Ranette seems to only use her abilities as a Lurcher for simple convenience (Pulling items out of reach toward her, et cetera) and to use devices of her own creation that only a Lurcher can use. She is very sensitive about her location and employs Smokers to hide the use of her powers.

As a gunsmith, Ranette is highly skilled and is responsible for the creation of numerous guns as well as various other contraptions and innovations. She can competently identify a gun's creator.

Notable Inventions

Vindication
A Revolver named after Vin. Made of "Invarian" steel, making it stronger and lighter than a Sterrion, it features a long barrel, a grip styled with ivory and onyx wavy lines separated by metal bands, 8 chambers (two of which utilise Hazekiller rounds), and an "allomancer-only" safety; a hidden switch that only a misting can see or access via an ironpull or a steelpush that disables the gun, so the gun can never be turned on a misting owner.
Sterrion 36
A Six shot revolver, it has a steel frame with no gleam.[11] Wax repeatedly describes his Sterrion pistols as his most accurate guns.[1]
Hazekiller Rounds
Bullets that are intended to combat Mistings, for use with Vindication.
  • Coinshot rounds with a ceramic tip that keeps travelling after the metal of the bullet has been pushed away.
  • Lurcher rounds with a ceramic sides that explode when Pulled on, causing shrapnel, said to be harmful but not lethal.
  • Tineye rounds that make a loud noise when fired and a different noise when they hit, intended to disable rather than harm.
  • Pewterarm rounds that are larger and packed with more gunpowder, intended to overpower the resilience of a Pewterarm until death.
Hemalurgic Bullet
A bullet made from Wax's hemalurgic earring. It was used to give Bleeder a second spike so that Harmony could regain control of her.
