[QUOTE="Descartes, post: 4955310, member: 85285"] Here's my take on it. The sword's "Wall of Ash" would burn one attack per "wall" created. So if you had 3 attacks per round you could create two "walls" one behind you and one to the side and still take a swipe at the creature in front of you. The "wall" gives you total concealment (50% miss chance immune to line of sight spells but area affect spells still get you). The sword also has a high ego. From the way it was written it seems that older rules for weapon dominance were taken into consideration. In previous editions you character's level was used to determine if you overcame the item's ego. Everytime you took a HD worth of damage you lost a level to go towards an ego fight with your item, so if you were down to 1 HP you level for determining you ego score was 1. The glove was suppose to aid in your dominance battle so I would say that it was suppose to give you a little boost but also keep your dominance score the same no matter how much physical or ability damage you took.
