Coming in fashionably late to Rumor Woods 2025 is a brand-new shop: Fist Class Plane Ticket!
This spell-slinging boutique is proud to debut a new script: Mage’s Gauntlets — a powerful piece of planar paraphernalia worn on the left hand that grows in power as it levels up. Just add mana (and a little flair)!
Tier 1 – Getting a Feel for the Gauntlet
White, black, and blue crystals can be PUSH’d into the gauntlet to absorb their spells.
Want to use them later? TURN to choose, then RUB to cast.
Need some light? FLICK the gauntlet.
Too bright? COVER it to dim the glow.
Stylish and functional. The gauntlet carries 5 charges of each crystal per Tier (5, 10, 15, 20). FLICK and COVER consume 1 charge of each crystal.
Tier 2 – Mana Manager
Treasure system wands can be PUSH’d into the gauntlet to extract their mana (calculated as spell level × charges).
Storage capacity starts at 800 mana (400 per Tier).
In a pinch? PULL the gauntlet to instantly recover 50 mana.
It’s like a magic battery pack — but way cooler. PULL comes with a 15 minute cooldown.
Tier 3 – Now We’re Getting Dangerous
Mana cap rises to 1,200.
Ayanad crystals (plus s’, t’, and n’ varieties) can be PUSH’d in for 20–50 mana based on rarity.
Two new tricks up the sleeve:
CLENCH to activate a 30-point energy shield to protect yourself.
RAISE the gauntlet to summon a black void that pulls nearby creatures in. Those who fail their SMRv2 roll take impact damage and are left disoriented (3-minute cooldown, 100 mana).
CLENCH has a 15 minute duration, a 30 minute cooldown, and costs 100 mana. When the shield has absorbed 30 damage, it shatters.

OP
— 4:37 PM
Tier 4 – Plane and Simple Mayhem
Mana storage increases to 1,600.
Two final abilities for the seasoned arcane adventurer:
POINT to attempt a banishment — the target makes an SMRv2 roll or is whisked off to another plane. When they return? Surprise elemental damage. (1-minute cooldown, 200 mana).
BESEECH to banish yourself for 1 minute. Great for avoiding danger or dramatic exits. Works so long as the user is alive, concious, and not in roundtime (e.g. works while stunned). (24 hour cooldown, 500 mana).
Great for making an entrance — or an exit.
Pricing to be announced soon!
The store is expected to open next week, so keep an eye out and get ready to throw hands — magically, of course.
Q&A
Where is this item worn? The item takes hands (gloves) slot. It’s just a singular version (glove) worn on the left hand (via messaging when wearing/using).
Can I banish all my friends to the party room? No.
Ok, but where do I go? Same room as if you had been banished via lathonian. You can stand and stance, but other verbs are restricted.
Ethereal — 4:57 PM
Treasure system wands only – twisted wand, silver wand, aquamarine wand, etc.
Ethereal — 5:15 PM
You can use bound crystals so long as they are your bound crystal.
Ethereal — 5:43 PM
Ok… pricing:
OTS/Tier 1: 5k
Tier 2: 15k
Tier 3: 25k
Tier 4: 75k
