Mystagogue Glove

The Mystagogue Glove is a heavy Gatekeeper gauntlet worn in the off-hand that lets the wielder hurl nacreous or plasma fire from their left hand. Functionally it is an off-hand armament: when equipped it cannot be used with arbitrary two-handed weapons and is only usable while holding specific one-handed weapons or with the main hand empty. The glove fires a slow-moving, weighty fireball with substantial projectile drop; on impact the projectile deals direct damage, ignites what it hits, and leaves a lingering patch of plasma fire for about five seconds.

The lingering plasma area deals 40 plasma damage per second, damages and ignites any actor that enters it (including the user), and can damage or destroy deployables and environmental objects inside the zone. Each Alt Fire activation (default: right mouse button / LT / L2) consumes 5 laser charge, and the glove holds a total of 100 charges.

Practical notes and tactics

• Aim high and lead targets: the fired orb travels slowly and experiences significant drop, so compensate by aiming above distant targets and leading moving enemies.
• Use for area denial and objective control: the temporary plasma patch blocks routes, forces enemy repositioning, and damages deployables left in its radius.
• Watch your own positioning: the plasma field harms and ignites the player as well as foes, so avoid standing in or retreating through your own patches.
• Destroys deployables: the lingering fire can damage or outright destroy stationary enemy gear placed in its area of effect.
• Resource management: with 5 charge per use and 100 capacity, each deployment represents a finite resource—reserve charges for crucial fights or high-value targets.
• Compatibility: the glove functions as an off-hand tool and follows off-hand rules; it cannot be used in combination with most two-handed weapons.
• Visual recognition: the projectile and patches are nacreous/pearl-like in appearance, making them easy to spot in combat for tactical awareness.

The Mystagogue Glove is best deployed where area denial, sustained environmental damage, or targeted destructive effects against enemy equipment are desired. Its slow projectile and self-damaging field require deliberate placement and charge-conscious use to maximize benefit without endangering the wielder.
