* OxymoronicBeing: Harmony has replaced Ruin and Preservation as the god of Scadriel. He is a single being holding both shards and all the power they command. Unfortunately, their intents pull against each other, leaving him indecisive and largely inactive in the greater scheme of things. This is why he recruits Wax as his champion, pushing decision making onto him. This internal turmoil becomes a larger and larger issue as the series progresses, coming to a head in ''The Lost Metal'' where [[spoiler: enemy agents are able to render him unable to even ''observe'' Scadriel]]. It's temporary, but for a term of years.

** Wax can [[NotQuiteFlight push himself off metal objects]] or push metal objects away from him, and can also store or draw on weight. This lets him do things like making himself lighter to fly further per push, or making himself heavy so he can push objects that would normally send ''him'' flying.
** Miles is a compounder, a Twinborn whose powers both reside in the same metal. This allows him to cheat at Feruchemy the same way that the [[BigBad Lord Ruler]] of [[Literature/MistbornTheOriginalTrilogy the original trilogy]] did. Miles has Wayne's ability to make himself sickly in order to store health in a golden metalmind, withdrawing it later for fast healing. But his normally useless Allomantic gold ability (being able to see other possible versions of himself) means that he can invest a small amount of health into a metalmind and then burn the metalmind with Allomancy to withdraw far more than he put in. The result is an instantaneous, practically endless HealingFactor that led to his nickname. Like the Lord Ruler before him, his healing is so potent that it can even shrug off injuries that should be a OneHitKill.
