Electricity runs through the glove, superheating the glove and then superheating the element it is touching.
If the heat isn't enough, the glove has little nozzles at the tips that hooks up through the glove into a small pack that holds Dicyanoacetylene, a super hot liquid chemical that burns at 5000* Celsius.

This golden eye gleams, perfectly fitting into the socket. When zooming in, the aperture shrinks with a rose gold sheen, to analyze the smallest evidence or even the most micro of surgeries.
You gain the following benefits as long as you are wearing this Artifact.
Your senses are enhanced in the following way.
Any senses which have been heightened cannot be overloaded. Battle Scars you receive cannot affect these senses.
The most prominent engraving on the bracer, the nib of an old fashioned pen, raises slightly from the surface. With a flick of the wrist or finger, a shiny golden shuriken in the shape of a pen nib fires from the wearer's fingertip. Trailing behind the shuriken is a thin line of ink, which vanishes on impact along with the nib. If the wearer chooses to, they transpose along the path of the ink from where they were to where it hit, appearing to move as a thicker section of ink along the line. Even if no fingers point straight at the target, the shuriken curves in flight to hit more accurately.
The bracers have multiple engraved images, each of them deep enough through the bronze to show the titanium beneath. While made as a pair of bracers, each is a different artifact. They were made as high quality costume elements but are fully functional for defense. The engravings were originally simply images with a personal meaning, but over time more will likely become enchanted.
Each function of the bracer is manifested from the enchanter's mental visualization, and the personal energy of the wearer.
This Artifact produces ephemeral projectiles that can be used as a shuriken.

Nikki focuses, channelling the raw, electric power of human potential into her crowbar. Voices, spirits, souls, wrenched from the Material and base and forming a blade of lightning around the metal. All of this stored energy can push the memories of people into her psyche, however.
When Kitty Lundstrum died, all of the energy absorbed over zir life, as well as zir volatile and rebellious nature was reborn as an electric conduit of human potential, Nikki Sparks...who'd later used this connection to tap into all death, and gained even more awareness and presence of others.
The anchoring, supernatural black hole parts of zir soul went...to other places.

The new object's appearance can mimic specific items (such as a particular painting, a certain person’s ID, etc), but must be of a similar size and weight to this Artifact.
The new appearance is illusory; it will hold up to scrutiny, but its composition is not altered and it gains no new functionality. Any attempt to use it for a function which it cannot perform (for instance, making bread look like a knife and then trying to stab someone) will cause the illusion to fail or allow a Perception check to see through the illusion, at the GM's discretion.
