Description
Rhame Lucem’s weapons are classified as a pair of VDEGs (Variable Dynamic Electric Gauntlets) that bear the name Tesla Gage, powered exclusively by lightning Dust. They are copper-plated shock gauntlets that reach up the length of Rhame’s forearms, though they have a retracted form that appears as a pair of bracelets on his wrists. The copper plates are arranged in segmented rows that are surprisingly sleek. Whenever the weapon transforms, the copper plates shift accordingly, revealing new segments and sections. The Tesla Gage has two primary modes:

MixBoxing Mode
The Tesla Gage’s primary attack mode is by delivering electric shocks through the knuckles and palms of his gauntlets. It also holds emitters in the palm that lets Rhame shoot a thin, electric power beam across a short distance - about 5 feet at the maximum. This is useful mainly for crowd control as the beam can sweep and be used as an ad hoc electric barrier.

Whip Mode
This is Tesla Gage’s secondary mode and its main ranged mode. The segmented copper plates shift on the underside of his forearms and reveal a long, prehensile pair of whips. The handles automatically move to his hands whereupon grasping the handles causes the whips to shoot out from the gauntlets. The steel cables that make up the whips flail out and are engulfed in electricity. The heat and friction from the electricity is intense enough that it can easily scorch and slice through metal.

In addition, Rhame has a pair of knives that are stored in the upper parts of the gauntlets that can be extracted in times of emergency. The knives are not very efficient, but they are deadly enough to be dangerous. Also, the gauntlets have an emergency self-destruct mode that causes an electric shockwave across a short radius, at the cost of the gauntlets themselves. Rhame also has grapplers at the bottom of his boots that can be used to grab and clamp against enemies, as well as having a practical use if he’s ever climbing something.
