Gloves of Battlemage's Power

Gloves of Battlemage's Power is a set of rare Gloves that allows the wearer to gain Arcane Acuity whenever they hit a target with a spell or cantrip that uses a weapon.

Bands of blue light snap and contract when the gloved fingertips are pressed together - evidence of the arcane polarity linking them.

Notes

• The Gloves of Battlemage's Power were redesigned in function for Patch 8.
• The attacks that can trigger Battlemage's Power are:
  • Any smite spell (including  Divine Smite). Casting a smite spell and then reacting with Divine Smite triggers Battlemage's Power twice.
  •  Booming Blade
  •  Ensnaring Strike (Melee) and  Ensnaring Strike (Ranged)
  •  Hail of Thorns
  •  Flame Blade or  Shadow Blade main hand attacks
• A maximum of two turns of Arcane Acuity are provided per damaging attack.

Bugs

• Any damage dealt while wielding a Flame Blade in the main hand triggers Battlemage's Power. The damage can be from any source such as weapon attacks, spell damage (including each dart from  Magic Missile), or even damage from status effects like  Burning. Battlemage's Power does not trigger if the conjured weapons are in the off-hand, even if attacking with the conjured weapon. This effect also used to work while wielding a Shadow Blade in the main hand, but this was removed in a hotfix after Patch 8.
•  Spike Growth also triggers Battlemage's Power, despite Spike Growth not including a weapon attack.
•  Conjure Barrage: Melee Weapon,  Conjure Barrage: Ranged Weapon, and  Lightning Arrow cannot trigger Battlemage's Power.
• Battlemage's Power will not function with the Mephistopheles Tiefling version of Flame Blade, as this version has a different condition applied to it which is not listed in the ArcaneAcuityGlovesCondition() .khn script.
•  Throwing Healing Potions and Grenades will trigger Battlemage's Power, even without hitting any target.
