INFERNAL GAUNTLET
A gauntlet crafted by a greater demon in the depths of a realm engulfed in eternal fire. It is crafted from a black metal not found anywhere else in Gaia, and is so indestructible by conventional means. It appears to have been crafted for a demon, it having claws at the end of each finger, and being much longer than a standard human's hand. Most curiously, it seems to be alive, having a single slit eyeball on the back of the gauntlet's palm.

This hellish artifact has a number of properties that make it worthy of a godlike item. It grants the wielder the ability to cast Fira and any of its variants (including Flare) of any level  (must still purchase said spells) regardless of their class. Additionally, it also completely negates any fire-based attacks whenever they would be used against it, allowing the wielder to take no damage from fire-based attacks, even if they lose a roll.

Finally, the gauntlet has an ability of its own. The Infernal Gauntlet can drain the lifeforce from the surrounding area (nature, living beings, etc) and store it, resulting in the drained area becoming barren and dead. It can then literally burn this lifeforce to use a powerful fire-based attack called Infernal Tempest. This is perhaps the strongest fire-based spell, unleashing a wave of hellfire in every direction for a good radius around the caster. This attack has a +50 modifier, and can only be used once per thread, and only after absorbing lifeforce.

Absorbing lifeforce: Takes a post to use. It can be used on the environment, or it can be used directly on an individual, who must agree to it being used. If used on an individual, it will cost them three points of life. When holding absorbed lifeforce, the Infernal Gauntlet gains an additional +5 towards its modifier value.
