Ribbons of electricity crackle over these gleaming, blue-tinged metal gauntlets. Jagged white bolts arc between the pair, filling the air with the scent of ozone.
When worn together, this pair of +1 spiked gauntlets grants you resistance to electricity 5. This is a continuous effect and requires no activation.
In addition, storm gauntlets have 4 charges, which are renewed each day at dawn. Spending 1 or more charges allows you to generate a number of electrcity-based effects.
1 charge: shocking grasp.
2 charges: lightning bolt (Reflex DC 14 half).
4 charges: electric spheres. These act like flaming spheres, except that you create four spheres of crackling electricity. You can direct any or all of the spheres with the same action. Multiple spheres directed at the same creature deal damage separately (Reflex DC 13 half). These spheres deal electric damage.
Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, shocking grasp, lightning bolt.
Cost to Create: 5,000 gp (plus 604 gp for two masterwork gauntlets), 400 XP, 10 days.
