Golden Triumvirate: The Auction Of Lightningale

[Magivore]

House di Ortiz is auctioning off the valuable gauntlet Lightningale!
Potentially interested parties: @Eronoc @ChapterDeath @OkaDoka​

Produced from a metal from the heavens that landed on the shoreline of Isla Nublera in 308AC, the skillful work of professional blacksmiths within the Crown City of Regalia harnessed the strengths of the rare meteorite with the minerals of man to create a unique artifact with strange qualities. With the combination of Laqoria and Ephamaria on this item, it reflects both the beauty and the strength of a mighty Rim Isle hurricane!

​

This artifact, named Lightningale due to its sky-like sheen, is currently known to possess these traits:

• A hardness rating tougher than steel!
• A reflective quality that mirrors a summer sky, even on your cloudiest days!
• A significant lack of magical potential, meaning it is COMPLETELY ABERRATION CLEAN for those who don't dare to dabble with the arcane!
• The ability to catch electrical energy as mighty as a lightning bolt without harming the wearer!

So why would you want to buy it?

• Tell the world not even the forces of nature can stop you or even so much as inconvenience you!
• Make your friends envious of the wealth implied by possessing this item!
• Protect yourself from mages and warlocks that would seek to bring harm upon you!

Sounds good, but what does it look like?

• The thumb, index, and middle finger possess a gilding of Ephamaria to make sharp digits in order to more accurately contain the power of lightning.
• Laqoria serves as a base for the majority of the gauntlet, being tougher than steel and having a smooth hexagonal pattern to match the beauty of a turquoise diamond and a blue sky.
• Leather internals and steel rivets keep the hand cool and ensure you keep a grip on the feathery quill you need to sign autographs.
• And last, but certainly not least, a tracing of Ephamaria lines the back of the gauntlet to imitate the blink-of-an-eye flashing of lightning to forever be at your hand's grasp.
