SPECIAL FEATURES

STRENGTHS

• One Size Fits All: Through hate and willpower alone, even the most Force unsensitive can utilize the gauntlet and unleash blasts of lightning.

WEAKNESSES

• Corruption: Ascendant tech is some of the darkest in the galaxy. Even Sith were known to avoid it for that reason. Utilizing the Lightning Gauntlet is to invite the darkest corruption of the Force into someone. Hate, anger, rage, they all run rampant and overwhelm those unprepared for it. Even those prepared.
• Backlash: A common injury from Force Lightning is burning oneself when someone isn't used to using it. These gauntlets always burn it's user. The pain of the burns is used to fuel the strength of the blast, but those who use it too much can inadvertently kill themselves.
• Brittle: Where most alchemized artifacts are immune or resistant to Lightsabers and damage, these aren't. They're not armor, they're not a weapon. And if they break, they violently erupt as the dark energy stored within is unleashed.

DESCRIPTION
(Describe some of the histories behind the submission. Give us some idea of how it might perform its function, what it excels against and what some limitations of it are. This is where you talk about your idea, flesh it out over at least a good-sized paragraph, and address some of the ways it might be used or abused. For especially powerful or ambitious submissions, a very thorough description is recommended.)
