Thoughout my time on Wizard101 I've seen all kinds of different weapons:
Wands, staffs, swords, bows, spears, etc.
But I realized that you don't have to use a "wand" per say but only your hands. With that, I had a new idea for a weapon: Spell gloves.
These are are magical weapons that you don't need to hold when in fact, your HANDS are the weapon. Your wizard's hands will appear to glow with magical energy (Depending on which one you pick) And, just like other wands, they can hold spells within them, and be stitched with other wands.
Wouldn't you love to feel powerful, knowing that you hold the magic within the palm of your hands.
