PRODUCTION INFORMATION

• Manufacturer: Force Forged Sabercrafts
• Affiliation: Force Forged Sabercrafts | Braze
• Market Status: Closed Market
• Model: Warding Gloves
• Modularity: No
• Production: Semi-Unique
• Material: Tailored inner gloves, a grafiform outer shell, phrik-threaded finger and knuckle reinforcement, beskar-backed wrist and palm splinting, sealed contact surfaces treated with nullification resin, and a fixed dorsal housing on the back of each hand formed from refined Aegisite with an articulated lid containing a Hollowite null-core.

SPECIAL FEATURES

• Artifact Handling Barrier: Contact surfaces treated with nullification resin reduce the spiritual bleed-through of dark-side artifacts and help insulate the wearer from direct contact effects during handling.
• Force-Resistant Construction: The gloves are built around Force Resistance-like protective principles, reinforcing the wearer against hostile mental and spiritual pressure while maintaining control of the object in hand.
• Dorsal Null Section: Each glove carries a fixed Obscura Oculi-style section on the back of the hand: a refined Aegisite shell with an articulated lid protecting a Hollowite core.
• Selective Null-Field Release: When the dorsal lid is opened, the exposed Hollowite core creates a localized Force-dead pocket in the immediate area, allowing the wearer to suppress especially active or unstable artifact behavior when needed.
• Sealed Containment: When the dorsal housing remains shut, the Aegisite shell keeps the Hollowite contained, allowing the gloves to function as stable protective handling gear in ordinary use.
• Grafiform Masking: A grafiform outer shell keeps the gloves visually discreet and helps obscure their true profile.
• Durable Frame: Phrik threading and beskar backing give the gloves reliable resilience against heat, shock, and hazardous close-contact handling.

STRENGTHS

• Provides dependable protection when handling dark-side relics, cursed weapons, and other malign Force artifacts.
• Reduces direct-contact backlash and helps the wearer maintain grip, control, and composure.
• Supports transport, inspection, containment, and brief field use without requiring full environmental containment.
• The dorsal null section gives the wearer an active answer for artifacts that become volatile or difficult to control.
• Constructed as practical field gear rather than ceremonial equipment, with durable materials suited to repeated use.

WEAKNESSES

• They are protective equipment, not absolute immunity; exceptionally powerful artifacts may still push through their safeguards with prolonged exposure.
• When the dorsal Hollowite section is opened, the resulting suppression also dampens the wearer’s own connection to the Force.
• Their protection is localized to what the gloves cover and the range of the dorsal section.
• Damage to the resin coating, dorsal housing, or inner structural layers can reduce performance until repaired.
• The null-field is designed for controlled close-range handling, not wide-area suppression.
• They are most effective as specialized handling gear and are not meant to replace broader containment procedures where those are required.

DESCRIPTION
The Warding Gloves were designed and crafted through Force Forged Sabercrafts for one clear purpose: to allow dangerous artifacts to be handled with control instead of guesswork. Their contact surfaces are treated with nullification resin to reduce spiritual bleed-through at the point of touch, while Force Resistance-like construction reinforces the wearer against hostile pressure that might otherwise interfere with focus, judgment, or grip. Rather than merely dulling discomfort, the gloves are built to make direct handling practical.

Set into the back of each hand is a fixed dorsal null section inspired by the principles of Obscura Oculi. When sealed, the Aegisite housing safely contains the Hollowite core and the gloves function as stable protective gear. When opened, the core creates a close-range null pocket that can suppress more active or unstable artifact behavior long enough for containment, transport, or controlled repositioning. The gloves are not a cure for every relic problem, but they are effective, purpose-built equipment for people who need to touch dangerous things and keep working.
