Description:​

The Electro Glove is a spin off of the common shock boxing glove. Vassara in her wisdom saw fit to add a kick t her punches so disassembled shock boxing gloves and learned their secrets. The Electro glove was built with Armorweave as a base and electric circuits were added into the glove.

The circuits are connected to capacitors and power cells, which reside in the top of the hand, wrist location of the glove. When the glove makes considerable force upon a target, such as a punch or open hand strike, electrical energy is discharged, shocking the victim.

A very special feature of the glove is that the capacitors can be reverse charged, accepting energy form external sources. Thus if Sith lightning were blocked by the glove it could absorb it up until a point.

And this is where the weakness comes into play. Capacitors and the main power cell can only hold so much charge before exploding. While the Elector glove can absorb short bursts of Lightning or energy based weapons, the electricity generated must be discharged equally. If the user fails to to discharge the current and uses the glove in this fashion for a prolonged time the power cells will explode, blowing off the users hand.

Yikes!

As per stated by the weakness mentioned, do not be expecting to be absorbing any significant duration of force lightning or any other electrical output.
Pending secondary.
