'''Orihalcyon gauntlets''' are a type of [[armor]] that appear in [[dNetHack]], [[notdNetHack]] and [[notnotdNetHack]]. They are [[gloves]] that have a [[Object materials (dNetHack)|base material]] of [[metal]], and have a [[randomized appearance]] when unidentified&mdash;the default one associated with them is a pair of fighting gloves.

==Description==
While worn, a pair of orihalcyon gauntlets confers 1 [[AC]] and [[magic resistance]], while also heavily interfering with [[spellcasting]] due to its material.

==Strategy==
As a source of magic resistance, orihalcyon gauntlets provide immunity to wands of {{wand of|striking|and=1|magic missile}} as well as many of the nastier [[trap]]s.

===Identification===
A [[touchstone]] can be used to unambiguously identify orihalcyon gauntlets: the only other metallic gloves are the [[gauntlets of power]], which are made of [[iron]] and also [[auto-identify]] when worn.

==Origin==
The concept of orihalcyon gauntlets comes from the (sadly defunct) webcomic [http://bookwyrms.comicgenesis.com/ Bookwyrms], with the name being a portmanteau of 'orichalcum' and 'halcyon'.
