These black leather gauntlets are studded with multicolored gems.

Gauntlets of eldritch energy let you imbue your eldritch blasts (CAr 7) with a particular type of energy. When you activate these gauntlets, the next eldritch blast you use before the end of your turn deals energy damage (the type of energy depends on the type of gauntlets) instead of its normal damage type. You can’t apply the gauntlets’ effect to any blast already affected by an eldritch essence invocation.
Four varieties of these gauntlets exist.
Each applies a different type of energy damage to your eldritch blast: gauntlets of eldritch frost (cold), gauntlets of eldritch lightning (electricity), gauntlets of eldritch fire (fire), and gauntlets of eldritch thunder (sonic).
This ability can be used three times per day.

Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, eldritch blast.
Cost to Create: 2,500 gp, 200 XP, 5 days.
