Vis wax is pronounced "WEES" wax.

The lovely Mod Deg, developer of the rune goldberg machine and fellow wizard, needed something almost but not entirely like rune essence. And thus a myriad mispronunciations were born.
Apologies for the Fandom link (and my insufferable pedantry), but it summarises the vis of origin quite nicely:
