Origins[]
This gauntlet was forged by alchemists for Midas the king. The myth was real, and the Warehouse had taken delicate care of it since the beginning and has taken measures to obscure its existence.
Effects[]
An intricate gauntlet made of a strange, pure white metal.. It was designed to transmute whatever it touched into gold. However, the power couldn't be controlled and the gauntlet developed a habit of binding itself to the wearer if worn for too long.
Collection[]
It was recovered by Alexander the Great shortly after the official founding of Warehouse 1 and was lost with Warehouse 2 until recently.
Trivia[]
- The only known method of removing the gauntlet once it has bound itself is for the wearer to completely submerge themselves in water.
