Description: A large gauntlet that was made from the purest gold in all the land and heavens. Said to be by the Gods themselves.

History: The Gauntlet of Midas, forged from the finest and purest gold in all the land and heavens. It was said the gauntlet was forged by the Gods themselves and blessed to grant whoever wore it with great wealth and prosperity. The gauntlet was handed down to Midas of Bosco.

The gauntlet was a gift to help his homeland prosper during the great Seraphim Demon threat. Its ability to turn all objects and spells into gold made Midas a powerful warrior in his own right. But power and wealth corrupts. The power of the gauntlet corrupted Midas, manifesting into violent paranoia that everyone was out to steal it from him.

Midas wanted to keep the power of the gauntlet to himself so he turned on his own allies and sided with Illumin. Vengeful from Midas' betrayal the gods bound Midas' soul into the gauntlet so he could never enter Illumin's Grace

Drawback:

Paranoia: The Spirit of Midas inside the Gauntlet carries on his strong desire to keep the Gauntlet to himself, this spreads to the current bearer. Midas' corrupted will affects the user with a strong desire to protect and keep the gauntlet from others, eventually turning into paranoia.
Fused: The Midas' Gauntlet is permanently fixed to the user's hand until their death or the loss of the hand.

Ability:

Golden Touch: Anything struck by the Midas' Gauntlet will immediately turn to gold and become immobile if the target's overall or limb durability reaches its limits the effect will apply across the limb or the entire rest of the targets body. Note: This effect does not apply to the user or their equipment.
Midas' Nullification: Midas' Gauntlet can turn spells into gold upon hitting it. The wielder must pay the same amount of mana as the spell they are hitting to transmute it.
