Mugen Gauntlet
A powerful magical item developed from the combined efforts of Ashiya Dōman, Brynhildr, Mary Lyn, and an avatar of Hashinara Yoshitakatomo. By channeling pure magical energy through the runes etched upon various jewels on its surface, this item allows for instant transportation without theoretical limit. Naturally, the amount of power required for each trip is immense. The wielder must also have at least a general idea of their destination. Failure to properly provide either of these criteria may result in extraspatial disaster.
The Mugen Gauntlet resembles a piece of Western hand armor in appearance. This is no doubt due to the influence of Brynhildr in its creation, but the design does allow for easier placement of the several gems which store and channel the energy necessary to warp space. Wurmish runes carved on each jewel form and direct the power, allowing its wielder to choose their destination within a reasonable level of error. According to its designers, the Mugen Gauntlet responds to general directions (such as Albion, Tianchao, or even Earth) or more specific destinations (like Wakigami Castle).
Others may make the journey alongside the Gauntlet's wielder by maintaining physical contact with them. It's unclear whether there are any further limits to this condition and whether someone of sufficient size could transport a larger group. Mary Lyn cautions against such experimentation, urging that it's never wise to push the boundaries of powers as potent as this. Ashiya Dōman, however, advocates for testing the item's limits. The notorious onmyōji has already included some functions of his own design, such as the ability to use mortal souls to power the Gauntlet rather than magical energy.
Quality: The Mugen Gauntlet is considered a +20 quality void-steel gauntlet. It is not designed for use in battle, however, and offers only 2 points of AT (treated as an additional layer of armor) to the hand and lower arm upon which it is worn. If attacked with the intent to break, the Gauntlet is considered to have a Fortitude of 45, varying with the item's current quality.
Unbounded: The wielder of the Mugen Gauntlet may specify a destination (general or specific) and infuse the gauntlet with at least 2,000 points of Zeon. This process may take several turns depending on the wielder's rate of accumulation and whether they have assistance. Once done, the Gauntlet can be thrust into the sky to teleport its wielder and any creatures or objects no larger than an average human to the destination of choice. Arrival is instantaneous, although some margin of error exists in the accuracy of destination. This margin increases with greater distances and especially across planes. Beyond these considerations, there is no theoretical limit to the range of the Gauntlet.
Soul Engine: The 2,000-zeon cost of activating the Mugen Gauntlet can be circumvented by infusing it with either 500 presence worth of souls or a single soul of Gnosis 35 or above. Souls used in this way are consumed and permanently destroyed.
