The secondary use of the gloves are for limited hand to hand combat, using bursts of dust from the knuckles and palms for enhanced strikes, mostly to push Grimm/Humans back and unleash dust arts from a distance. They can be briefly covered with dust born spikes or blades as a makeshift weapon.  My first weapon to be judged, go easy on me. D:
 * Name: Elemental Arcanum Mk II
 * Wielder: Lloyd Manx
 * Maker/Smith: Lloyd Manx
 * Type: Multi-Dial Dust Battle-Gloves or MDDBG
 * Weapon Derivation: Roy Mustang’s Gloves and dust dial from Fanmade SLVR OC trailer
 * Design: Matching full length gloves that reach the middle of the arm and are jet back in color, with intricate white lines all over the material, that seem to mirror the bones in the hand, with thick bands to lock the gloves in place on the wrist. Additionally, on the back of the gloves, is a large eight point star crest that covers most of the hand up to the knuckles with slots that can hold up to eight dust crystals inside. In the middle of the crest, is a dial with two arrows.
 * Holstered/Inactive Form: No inactive form
 * Form 1: Armor comes out of the knuckles and the dial unsheathes metal plates to protect the crystals.
 * Features: Dust has been stitched into the gloves, actually within a middle layer of the gloves, where dust has been loaded in through a feed system located in the wristbands.
 * Dust Capacity: Up to eight different types of elemental dust as well as a raw dust powder contained within the stitched channels of the gloves.
 * Ammunition: N/A
 * Usage: The gloves are used primarily for ranged combat through dust arts and techniques, ranging from elemental bolts to arrows of ice and even a vicious fireball, or even a bolt of lightning, achieved through the use of the dust crystals- selected by the dials. By using the second dial, combination arts can be used, such as fire with wind to create a barrage of fiery knives that expand rapidly, or earth and fire for molten stone spikes, etc. Additionally, due to raw dust within the gloves, small weapons such as throwing knives and daggers can be formed, enhanced/augmented by the dust crystals for elemental effects.
 * Planned/Possible Upgrades: Two additional dials (or maybe one) to allow the combination of three to four crystals at once, depending on which are loaded into the dial system. Additionally, a possible compact form to allow the weapons to be hidden in plain sight until needed, as well as a storage slot for spare crystals to allow for easy reloading.
 * Notes: Lloyd viewed it necessary to have two weapons that would work perfectly with his Semblance, and decided to combine new and old knowledge and dust arts to use the best of both. It is little surprise that the current weapon was five years in the making; especially to learn dust action revolver principles and science and master old dust embedding and sewing techniques.

But yeah, expect for multiple weapons from me- and not just the usual gun-blade/etc weapons. >>
