Users of this power can master the use of the Hand of Glory, a necromantic item of power first mentioned in European folklore and attributed with many supernatural powers.
A Hand of Glory was created via taking the hand of a murderer and a candle made from the fat of the same murderer, upon creation the item was said to be able to paralyze anyone within its presence; later additions of the story added more powers to the Hand such as the inability for the flame to extinguished (save by milk), the Hand being able to cast light only for its creator and perhaps its most infamous power, the ability to open any lock.
