Hawking Gloves

These elbow-length gloves are made from triple-stitched buckskin, weather-darkened at the fingers and scored across the left cuff by old talons. A brass swivel and two thin straps hang at the wrist, and when a charge is spent the leather snaps taut as though a great bird has just launched from the wearer's fist.

Each charge sends a hawk of pale light from the wearer's fist to fetch one loose object of up to 10 pounds from as far as half a mile, returning within ten minutes. When depleted the gloves still cannot be pierced by beak, talon, or thorn.
