Animated Gauntlet

This metal gauntlet seems to have some facet of life within it. A wearer can use it to perform simple tasks and to strike at range in a pinch. When attuned to the item, it will allow the wearer to cast mage hand a number of times equal to their proficiency bonus, per long rest. The Mage Hand is the gauntlet itself, so will fly off the wearers hand and perform the ordered task. When the spell ends, the gauntlet will return to the wearers hand.

 Should the wearer need to, they can expend one of these casts to make a ranged attack instead, as if it were a strength based ranged weapon with a range of 30ft. Should the attack miss, it will instead hit the next closest creature within 15ft, re-roll the attack. Should that miss or there are no creatures within 15ft, the attack completely misses and the charge is wasted. If the attack hits something, the gauntlet returns to the wearer as normal. Should no creature be hit, the Gauntlet will throw a strop and fall to the floor next to the last missed attack and must be retrieved.

The attack deals D6+2+prof bonus damage

When not using the magical properties, the gauntlet can be used as normal. Should the gauntlet's magical properties be used, it will instantly drop the item held in that hand, unless mage hand is being used to transport that item.

Notes: Damage: Bludgeoning, The wearer must wrestle with the gauntlet during a long rest to make it submit and attune to it.
