Wondrous item, rare (requires attunement)
This gauntlet uses a capsule system that can be fuelled with alchemic composites. The magic runes inside it amplify the effects of the capsules, making wherever what's inside it stronger. It has four syringe-like spikes on its tip to apply its content.
You can use a bonus action and expend one charge of the capsule to apply the content of the gauntlet on a willing creature within 5ft of you. In addition, you can expend a bonus action and one charge of the capsule to try to apply its content on an unwilling creature. The target makes a DC15 Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, it suffers 1d4 piercing damage and the effects of what was injected.
You can spend your action changing the capsule that is filling the gauntlet. Every capsule has four charges.
Capsule of Enhanced Healing. A creature subjected to a charge of this capsule regains 2d4+4 Hit Points. If you are proficient with Alchemist Tools, you can spend one day of work and 25GP worth of materials to craft one of these capsules. You can also fill the capsule with the content of a Potion of Healing.
Capsule of Enhanced Speed A creature subjected to a charge of this capsule gains a +1 bonus to AC and has its walking speed increased by 20 feet.
