A pair of Fire Gloves usually appear as thick cloth gloves with metallic studs on the knuckles, and a metallic ring around the wrist. They are most commonly orange, but can also be other colors. Despite coming as a pair, one of them can be wielded on its own. The user can activate a gloves' magical ability at-will, so long as one of his hands is empty except for the glove.
If the wearer's palm his held open, activating the glove will manifest a swirling mass of magical fire right in front of his palm, with a roughly spherical mass equal in volume to the size of his own head. This can be used not only for melee attacks, but igniting wood or illuminating a cave, among many other purposes. The fire can never be manifested in anything other than open air. This flame will disappear if the user wills it, or if his hand closes.
By contrast, if the wearer thrusts his palm forward, a fiery projectile nearly as large as the swirling sphere will shoot forward at a sprinting pace. Unlike a typical magical projectile, it will repeatedly bounce as it travels, maintaining the same speed and height from each bounce despite how many times it hits the ground. The magical projectile has little actual mass, instead striking any target with pure heat and flame. The projectile continues to bounce for up to 5 seconds, or until it strikes and burns a moving being, at which point it abruptly vanishes into thin air. The user cannot sling form another ball of fire until the previous one has vanished.
If the user has already acquired a pair of Blue Fire Gloves, a variant of Fire Gloves, this treasure can be gained as though it was Lower Cost.
Trivia
- The Bolt Ball Rod and the Seed Shooter treasures both have similar properties of creating magically bouncing projectiles.
- The Fire Gloves treasure canonically appears in the Zelda series, initially in Tri-Force Heroes. More information about the canonical version of this treasure can likely be found on Zelda Wiki.
