-Name: Firm Hand

-User(s): Eadberht Ahenobarbus (or just Aheno Barbus, haven't decided his name yet).

-Type: Conjuration

-Purpose: Utility

-Short description: User can summon ethereal constructs of Aural energy, in the shape of large hands.

-Activation Cue: The user's hands begin to glow in the color of the user's Aura.

-Range: Medium

-General limitations: The user requires some focus to control them. A simple command doesn't require much, but if they decide to do something a bit more complex than a regular punch or block, they need to concentrate a bit more. That can leave them open for attack. Also, the hands' nature as constructs makes it possible to break from their grip (and even destroy them). They also cost a significant portion of the User's Aura to produce.

They also have a tighter grip, with some added strength sprinkled into the mix.

They can also be used for more complex tasks (such as manipulating objects or grabbing enemies). This particular user was able to incorporate them into his Landing Strategy, using them to slow his descent (and also using one as a makeshift platform or landing pad).

Other types can allow them to deal lingering damage, which can especially painful if you end up in their grasp.

So they were instead given to his orginal incarnation/former friend instead. Figured they'd work better with him, since he is more amoral than his Ateslian pal.
