Coulter's glove

Coulter held up the glove again. "I've been using it for years, and the effects never seem to dwindle. For all I can tell, it will work forever. But like most magical items, it has certain limitations. He slipped it onto his hand and disappeared."

"As long as I hold still, you can see nothing. Different story if I move around." Coulter began to flicker in and out of view. He was wiggling his head. When he waved an arm, he flashed into clear view until he stopped.


"The glove only works if you're motionless," Kendra said.


Coulter was no longer visible. "Correct. I can talk, I can blink, I can breathe. Much more movement than that, and I become visible." He took off the glove, reappearing instantly. "Which is quite an inconvenience. Once I've been spotted, this glove isn't very handy for getting away. It also doesn't mask my smell. For maximum effect, I have to slip it on before I've been seen, in a situation where I can hold still, and where no being that can discern my presence through senses other than sight is present."
