  • Hand of Glory marked the first time that Ramon Sola had worked on 2000AD in twenty years, at the special request of Pat Mills.
  • See on how to obtain this item, or click here to show them. It cannot be bought or sold at the Bazaar. Effects when equipped in Gloves slot: * [[File:|20px|link=Shadowy]] Shadowy +6 * [[File:|20px|link=Dreaded]] Dreaded +1 See for other uses of this item, or click here to show them.
  • The Hand of Glory is a dark artefact, a shrivelled hand which gives light only to the holder.
  • In "Red Sky at Morning," Bela tricked Dean and stole the Hand of Glory from the Sea Pines Maritime Museum. The hand was haunted by a vengeful spirit of the sailor it belonged to. The sailor was hanged for treason on a ship captained by his brother, thus he exacted vengeance on people responsible for the death of family members.
  • This mummified human hand hangs by a leather cord around a character’s neck (taking up space as a magic necklace would). If a magic ring is placed on one of the fingers of the hand, the wearer benefits from the ring as if wearing it herself, and it does not count against her two-ring limit. The hand can wear only one ring at a time. Even without a ring, the hand itself allows its wearer to use daylight and see invisibility each once per day. Aura : Faint varied; Caster Level : CL5th Prerequisites : Craft Wondrous Item, Animate Dead, Daylight, Detect Invisibility Price : 8,000 gp Weight : 2 lb
  • It is also mentioned in the films The Wicker Man and Angel Heart.
  • The Hand of Glory is said to be the dried and pickled hand of a man who has been hanged, often specified as being the left hand, or else, if the man were hanged for murder, the hand that "did the deed."According to old European beliefs, a candle made of the fat from a malefactor who died on the gallows, virgin wax, and Lapland sesame oil - lighted and placed (as if in a candlestick) in the Hand of Glory, which comes from the same man as the fat in the candle - would have rendered motionless all persons to whom it was presented. The candle could only be put out with milk. (In another version the hair of the dead man is used as a wick, also the candle is said to give light only to the holder.) The Hand of Glory also purportedly had the power to unlock any door it came across.
  • Hand of Glory (栄光の手 (ハンドオブグロウリー) Eikō no Te (Hando Ofu Gurōrī)?, lit. "Handy of Glory") is a magic artifact that is grouped together with other magical terms that relates to the manipulation of the dead, such as the Hopping Zombie Spell, Necromancy, Vetala Sorcery, and Elixirs.
  • "The Hand of Glory is a withered-looking, severed hand. Putting a candle in it will create light which can only be seen by the holder."

Description
  • It is possible that someone plucked an old love from the grave to send you this. More likely they bought it at Hangman's Arch. Possibly it means they value you more than their own right hand. It's hard to be certain. An admirer might send you this at the Feast of the Exceptional Rose.
