This pair of leather gloves is imprinted with arcane sigils representing different types of energy.

Gauntlets of energy transformation allow you to temporarily change the type of energy produced by any weapon you hold. When you activate the gauntlets, you change one type of energy damage produced by a melee weapon you hold into another type of energy damage (acid, cold, electricity, or fire) for 1 round. Transformed energy does the same amount of damage, but a +1 flaming longsword could be changed to deal acid, cold, or electricity damage instead of fire.
If a weapon produces more than one type of energy, each activation affects only one type of energy produced. For example, if you wield a +1 flaming shock longsword, you could activate the gauntlets to change the fire damage to acid, cold, or electricity damage, and you could activate the gauntlets a second time to change the electricity damage dealt by the shock property to acid, cold, or fire. If your weapon doesn’t deal energy damage, these gauntlets have no effect.
This ability functions three times per day.

Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, acid splash, burning hands, ray of frost, shocking grasp.
Cost to Create: 500 gp, 40 XP, 1 day.
