"In silence, precision. In precision, perfection."

Item Type

• Legendary Utility Gauntlet (Wondrous Item)

Description

The Tinker’s Gauntlet is a masterwork of elven engineering and arcane enhancement, designed for Moonveil Sentinels who must maintain their firearms, modify their gear, and adapt to any situation in the field. Forged from lightweight mithril and void-infused leather, the gauntlet is both sleek and durable, ensuring that it never hinders movement while providing exceptional utility.

The gauntlet’s finger joints are lined with micro-precision tools, retractable at a thought, while its enchanted ley-thread core allows for on-the-fly modifications, repairs, and enhancements. Its deep obsidian leather is etched with runic patterns, subtly glowing when interacting with mechanical or arcane devices.

Only elite Sentinels and master artificers are granted these gauntlets, as their functions are both highly specialized and dangerously advanced, capable of fine-tuning firearms, traps, and even alchemical compounds with unparalleled precision.

Drawbacks and Risks

⚠ Sentinel’s Signature

• The gauntlet will only attune to a Moonveil Sentinel, artificer, or trained infiltrator. In the hands of an unskilled user, its tools remain dormant and unresponsive.

⚠ Leyline Instability

• Overuse of its abilities (5+ activations per day) causes slight fluctuations in leyline energy, creating minor disruptions in arcane devices or magic-infused technology nearby.

⚠ Arcane Residue

• Prolonged exposure to enhanced tinkering magic causes the wielder to become lightly charged with static energy, occasionally producing small electrical sparks when touching metal surfaces.

Lore and History

The Tinker’s Gauntlet was first designed by Master Artificer Vaelthirion Moonshade, who sought to create the perfect tool for stealth operatives using firearms. By blending elven craftsmanship, void-energy circuitry, and miniature arcane constructs, he crafted a multi-functional device capable of maintaining, modifying, and enhancing firearms in the field.

Legends tell of an elite Sentinel known as “Ghosthand”, who used a Tinker’s Gauntlet to dismantle an enemy’s war machines in the dead of night, turning their own cannons against them before disappearing without a trace. Another story speaks of a Sentinel who used the gauntlet’s grapple to scale a fortress wall undetected, eliminating a warlord with a single, silent shot before vanishing back into the shadows.

Today, only a select few Sentinels are granted these gauntlets, ensuring that their knowledge of arcane modifications remains a closely guarded secret.

Additional Roleplay Features

📌 The Ghost's Hand – NPCs who have seen the gauntlet in action whisper of a legendary infiltrator who never leaves traces of their work.

📌 Sentinel's Touch – While attuned, the wielder instinctively understands the mechanics of any device they hold, as if the gauntlet itself is whispering instructions.

📌 Echo of the Forge – If held close to an ancient firearm or artifact, the gauntlet briefly warms, indicating a history worth uncovering.
