Oop. I was not aware that a magic item could count as a spell! We can have that as a regain-- anything to make the stakes a little higher since he's an anxious and paranoid brat.
Power-- Mana burst: Mana is the general magical energy in the overall Fate/ verse. He has been shown to use a mana burst for both general mid range offensive use to keep enemies at bay, and for the mundane utility of restarting a stubborn engine for long enough to reach it's nearby destination or the repair shop.
Power-- Alchemy: I'm picking this one over leylines bc it's an important skill that we see him use early on, although he goes about it with the precision of a scientist rather than a flashy mage. If he's asked to identify what kind of mage he is, he is in fact going to describe himself as as Alchemist. He uses found samples mixed with specific magic reagents and application of normal scientific method and forensic methodology to identify the movement of mana in the environment. He used this to locate the layer that the Caster class servant was holed up in during the 4th HGW, although he's ashamed that he can't perform the same task with a quicker, flashier method.
Power-- Hypnosis: This is another actual magical talent that we see Waver use, although it seems mostly similar to real world hypnosis with the use of suggestion and guided imagery when he's not trying to cover his tracks (poorly) by rewriting someone's memories.
