Vindication

Vindication is a sleek, six-shot revolver introduced in The Lost Metal as the signature weapon of lawman-turned-investigator Waxillium Ladrian. Forged from allomantically reactive metals, the gun becomes an extension of Wax’s Steelpushing and Coinshot abilities, allowing him to manipulate its trajectory and ammunition in mid-air. Over the course of the novel, Vindication evolves from a simple sidearm into a symbol of Wax’s struggle to reconcile his Roughs justice with the political complexities of Elendel, culminating in its pivotal role during the climactic confrontation with the Set.
