SPECIAL FEATURES
  • Alchemized for durability and resistance to energy weapons, including lightsabers.
  • One alchemical power: can grip incorporeal beings.
STRENGTHS
  • Excellent tensile strength and durability; could easily be used over a zipline or as a garotte. Will probably outlast any hand underneath it.
  • Good protection from piercing weapons, even from vibroblades.
  • Excellent energy weapon and lightsaber resistance.
  • Decent resistance to acid and other chemicals, and to fire and other elemental attacks.
  • Permits the wearer to grab incorporeal beings, such as spirits, Netherworld creatures, living fire, or starweirds, as if they were tangible.
WEAKNESSES
  • Does absolutely nothing to protect the hand underneath it from sonic attacks.
  • Does absolutely nothing to protect the hand underneath it from blunt trauma; it is, after all, a glove.
  • The glove is lightweight enough that an observer could recognize the hand underneath as a prosthesis.
  • While the wearer can grab incorporeal beings, they can grab the glove in return, and thus the hand and forearm underneath. If you don't pay attention, some tenuous shade will snag your arm and throw you across the room.
DESCRIPTION
In the course of Ashin's quest to resurrect her wife, she lost her left hand at the wrist to an Arkanian dragon at Grievous' castle. Ashin commissioned this glove from the alchemists of the Aksifas to cover a simple droid hand, with the assumption that she would probably need to replace that hand repeatedly in the future. She also had in mind that the glove could be passed down in a way that a prosthetic hand absolutely couldn't.

The alchemists used Kashyyyk treeworm silk as a starting point, known for its strength and durability. The glove is breathable, deep red, and snug all the way up to the bulk of the forearm's muscles, with an ornate off-white cuff extending up to the elbow. Its lightsaber resistance is very high but not extreme: it can withstand full-force strikes, but sustained contact could cut through, and repeated strikes in the same place could inflict serious indirect burns. While Ashin is more than capable of withstanding lightsaber strikes using her specialized Force skills, the glove opens up options - being able to take a hit to her left forearm while striking back with the dark side, for example.

Apart from the glove's significant protective value, the alchemists added one unique ability. The wearer can grab spirits, smoke demons, and various other incorporeal beings and constructs as if they were tangible. Ashin requested this functionality, knowing that she would soon be traveling into the Netherworld to find her wife.
