Hand of Glory

A magical item crafted from the severed hand of a thief or murderer. When combined with a candle made of human tallow, a hand of glory becomes a potent tool in the hands of supernatural thieves. It creates a light that only its bearer can see, it can open holes in walls allowing the bearer to bypass any door, and it can also stop time for a few moments, allowing the thief ample opportunity to pilfer from an individual, home or business. Obviously, such an item is highly illegal, not just because of its use as a thieves tool but also because it involves blood magic and chronomancy--two big nos under the Compact of Babylon.
