A shimmering opalescent gleam shifts slowly across this leather gauntlet.
A mind blade gauntlet allows a soulknife to enhance the power of his mind blade. Each mind blade gauntlet comes in one of three grades (lesser, normal, or greater), each with a particular weapon property with a market price modifier of +1, +2, or +3 as shown in the table below. (For example, a mind blade gauntlet with a +2 bonus could carry the collision weapon property, whereas a greater mind blade gauntlet with a +3 bonus could have the speed property.). When you expend your psionic focus while manifesting your mind blade, the blade gains the weapon property designated by the gauntlet. This effect lasts for 1 minute.
If you split your mind blade into two matching blades, the effect applies only to the mind blade manifested through the mind blade gauntlet. Unlike most items that occupy the hands body slot, you can wear two mind blade gauntlets simultaneously, allowing an effect to be applied to each mind blade (but not two effects to one mind blade).
