=== Metallic Arts ===
Hoid has also gained access to Allomancy,{{wob ref|4877|Calamity Austin signing|date=2016-02-25}} almost certainly by burning a bead of lerasium stolen from the Well of Ascension.{{wob ref|1515|Arcanum Unbounded Chicago signing|date=2016-12-06}} If true, this would grant him power equivalent to that of the ancient Allomancers.{{epigraph ref|mb3|22}} It is uncertain how practiced he is with these powers, but he does make use of emotional Allomancy{{wob ref|6933|Words of Radiance Washington, DC signing|date=2014-04-20}} on at least one occasion.{{book ref|sa2|45}} He also has access to [[atium]].{{wob ref|465|Teen Author Boot Camp|date=2015-04-11}} It is unknown whether or not Hoid has access to Feruchemy.{{wob ref|466|Teen Author Boot Camp|date=2015-04-11}} However, he does have access to some unkeyed metalminds,{{wob ref|1571|Boskone 54|date=2017-02-17}} which would not be useful to him without Feruchemical abilities. The particular attributes are stored in these metalminds is unknown. Hoid does not make use of Hemalurgy, to gain access to the Metallic Arts or any other manifestation of Investiture.{{wob ref|656|Minicon 2015|date=2015-04-02}}
Hoid retrieved and may have ingested a bead of [[Lerasium]] from the Well of Ascension so that he could become an allomancer.{{qa ref|1013|1}}{{qa ref|1047|9}}{{qa ref|1151|7|Brandon on Hoid|date=2016-02-25}} He does appear to consume metal in Shallan's flashback the same way an Allomancer would.{{book ref|sa2|45}}{{qa ref|1073|1}} Brandon also said that he did it to make people act a certain way, implying that he was burning [[brass]] or [[zinc]].{{qa ref|1048|29}}
 
=== Awakening ===
Hoid has additional [[Breath]], something that a scene in Words of Radiance seems to confirm, as he mentions how playing and tuning an instrument was easier now with "perfect pitch"{{book ref|sa2|59}} - something granted to those with the Second Heightening (at least 200 breaths).{{qa ref|949|11}} It is confirmed again in [[Oathbringer]], when he Awakens a doll prior to leaving [[Kholinar]].{{book ref|sa3|epilogue}}
