This normal-seeming handwear radiates a faint aura of enchantment and alteration. 

When placed snugly upon the hands, these gloves cannot be seen, except by means of magical sight or detection. 

Wearing them allows the possessor to open locks as if a 7th-level thief and pick pockets as if a 5th-level thief. 

If actually worn by a thief, the gloves enable him or her to operate thus, or gain 5% in both categories if already equal to or above the stated levels due to advancement.
