Well this seems interesting! From obviously gauntlets... maybe this could lead into augments for are lovely thaumurgist robes? I would love to be able to shoot fireballs out of my hand like one of those pesky ghast
Yes please! The potential is huge! Melee foccii? Dual wielding spells? Yes please! Also, one of the consequences is that using magic would be like playing Remember Me, which is always a good thing!
For the most part I was just thinking of it being a cosmetic change with gauntlets replacing wands.
The main issue would be making it look acceptable. The trick would be to make it still fit in with the MC aesthetic and not make it a high-poly model, but at the same time it should look cool. A lot easier said than done. Steve's lack of fingers is problematic
Or wand focus (hand focus? palm charm?) excavation, punching trough walls with ease, great for RP
Hmm how about a wand focus " world grapple" - you would stop in midair when used, than fall when used again or switching to a different item.
Maybe it could fail if you are falling/moving too fast, I'm imagining a gauntlet stuck in midair while the user continues falling.
Death by butterfingers.
Gauntlets might be a good means for more active passive augments. I can see going from wands to gauntlets being mildly immersion breaking as you swap your tools and seemingly instantly take off the gauntlet. Maybe a pair of gauntlet bauble slots and letting the gauntlets augment the wand and foci directly?
I am considering making the gauntlet an off-hand only item meaning you can still have a tool or what-not in your main hand while flinging spells with the off-hand.

Sounds awesome, though maybe have special gauntlets that can be dual wielded? Imagine flinging double the spells by using both your hands.

I just took the Minecraft Noob test! Check out what I scored. Think you can beat me?!

Do we then get a shield spell (could act like the Dark Hand in Dark Souls, when used as a shield)?

Great! It's nice to have a mod developer utilizing the off hand slot. I have yet to see any other mod do it actually, of those i play that is, which is not too many.

I would hope it could still be used in the main hand too though, because dual wielding those would look freaking awesome.
Even if only one could be used at a time. lol
I mean walking around with nothing in your hands but gauntlets would be awesome.
Though having some shielding in a gauntlet would be cool, like a focus that has some energy shield around your arm.
That'd be awesome.
What if the gauntlets were a late game tool that utilizes a primordial pearl to allow you to manipulate vis with your bare hands? Imagine wrapping an aura node in a protective bubble and then walking it back to your base.

This is kinda crazy and thinking way above the bar but when i saw the pic i though of a whole almost mech suit, like a very large hollow golem with a portable node (remember seeing that somewhere in the comments), strong personal ward generator, and industrial scale excavation and combat tools. or maybe a completely new body again like a golem that your consciousness could take over and use as a new augmented body. and the way to get to the new body would be something like melting your body down in a special acidic bath of essentia and then when you die your now a floating cloud of energy that can fly around but not interact with the world, then you would go to the new body you previously constructed and infuse with it. (this idea was heavily inspired by thaumic horizons and the mod intangibles)

Please tell me there will be a way to r-click and hold that brings up a fancy runic shield blocking incoming attacks!

I find myself thinking of the power-armor gloves in David Drake's Northworld. (Or was it one of the Warden Diamond books?)
I like the gauntlets, but I think wands fit the aesthetic of Thaumcraft more. Perhaps gauntlets could replace staves , they seem pretty combat focused compared to wands.
I'm pretty happy with them being off-hand equipment as well though.

Why not keep the full arsenal.
Think of Dumbledore and Voldemort fighting with gauntlets. No way!
Think of grappling focus with a wand. No way!
Think of a scepter-type gauntlet. I don't think so.
I guess staves are kinda obsolete, because even a greatwood wand has way too much charge for combat(Okay, the Staff's melee damage is still OP early-on, though), but...I like staves, I like big weapons, In Dark Souls I would never wield anything smaller than a scythe. And when I imagine a warlock, I imagine Moody, not Dumbledore...because staff(He appears to use a kind of serpent staff in the ministry, which looked pretty cool).

This made my heart flutter for joy.

So, we're punching magic instead of swing now? lol
Upgraded equal trade focus+magic gauntlets+gold blocks.
EVERTHING I TOUCH TURNS TO GOLD!!!
Equal trade is OP
I made a D flip-flop!
