The Gauntlet of Paurhach question...

Archived from groups: rec.games.roguelike.angband (More info?)

Greetings All,

My clvl 24 Warrior on dlvl 13 just found the Gauntlets of Paurhach
((2,+15).

I know it throws a fire bolt, is resistive to fire, (dose this
transfer to me or just them?) and part of the description says "It
cannot be harmed be the elements", dose this mean that it is base
Resistive to fire, cold, lightning, anything else and (most
importantly, the description wasan't clear and I did look at the
spoiler) dose this transfer to him/ his stuff.

Thanks in advance!

One of the additions in the 3.0.5 version of the spoilers is an
