Two spectral, floating hands appear at a point near your body. The hands last for the duration. The hands vanish if they are ever more than 10 feet away from you or if you cast this spell again.
When you cast the spell, you can use the hand to manipulate an object, open an unlocked door or container, stow or retrieve an item from an open container, or pour the contents out of a vial.
In addition, these Mage Hands can Attack, activate magic items, Use Items on your behalf, and wield weapons or carry items not exceeding a weight of 10 pounds. So long as you possess enough Action Economy that would otherwise involve the use of normal hands, you may opt to control these hands instead of your own. As part of any said actions, you can move the hands up to 10 feet away from you. You must be proficient in the usage of any Weapons you intend to wield using these spectral hands -- this includes explicit training in Unarmed Strikes (Monk levels, Tavern Brawler)
This spell is not intrinsically designed to be used by humanoid peoples -- unless otherwise trained by an expert in arcane or eldritch magic, you can only use two hands at any given time. Usage of one or more pre-existing hands causes that number of Empowered Mage Hands to vanish, never allowing the Caster to exceed two hands.
