Amshan's Grasp

Amshan Rash'ad, part of a lineage of warriors of great strength and skill, was born weak, small and thin, under the requirements of his family. Cast away from the strict 'Spartanised' household, he travelled for miles on end, in search of something of some substance with which he could redeem himself in the eyes of his family.
He came to a solitary tower, roosted atop a solitary hill which stood alone in the center of a barren wasteland. Dehydrated and helpless, his meekly constitution forced him into submission as he banged wimpily upon the black-oaken doors of the collossal tower.
A dark robed mage answered the summons and granted him solitude. For years on end, Amshan stayed with the mage in his tower, learning the ways of magic and of deception, biding his strength for his triumphant return home... or was it indeed strength he was biding?
Amshan took advantage of the resources which the mage held limitless quantity, and constructed these gauntlets.
He fashioned them so that his strength would never hinder him again, but in stead of creating your run-of-the-mill strength enhancement item, he did something far more ambitious and far more daring. He created the gauntlets so his body would not in fact take part. By installing magical gemstones as nodes placed on the fingertips, interlocking with each other by a golden skeleton running across the palm of the gloves, he created a conductor of sorts which would channel energy and focus it on the lifting and throwing of objects. In exchange for his help, the rather sadistic mage insisted that once donned, the gloves could not be removed without the use of extremely potent magicks.
After his hard work was completed, he headed back out into the open, to make his journey home.
Along the way he was confronted by a band of orcish raiders, and he displayed a feat of true magnificence. With simple hand gestures, he disarmed the brutish orcs and sent their weapons flying into the distance, then began toying with them, throwing small stones at an incredible rate. By doing so he managed to bruise and batter his opponents, causing their retreat and his victory.
Triumphant, he picked up his feat and resumed his march home.
He never made it back however, his body was found outside a deserted troll cave, surrounded by shattered objects of allsorts, obviously he was confronted by a particularily large beast, whom was able to resist the petty onslaught of rocks and tree branches, presumably a troll, the gloves lacking in power to lift anything of better effect.
Amshan's very hands had been severed, and therefore the gauntlets had been removed from his corpse.

An adventurer possessing these gauntlets might to well to carry an assortment of throwing knives or volatile potions, to avoid the same unfortunate fate of Amshan Rash'ad...
