A finely crafted weapon made of the finest steel, the Hand of the Archlich is a +1 [[Urukke Steel (3.5e Equipment)|Urukke Steel]] [[SRD:Light Mace|Light Mace]] whose head take the form of a open skeletal hand. On each of it skeletal finger is a ring, slotted with a different kind of gemstone; a ruby cut into a triangle, an emerald cut into a cube, a sapphire cut into a sphere, a topaz cut into a rectangle and finally an onyx cut into a skull. 

The wielder of the Hand of the Archlich may call upon the power of a single ring as a part of an attack made with it. For the purpose of this attack, the enhancement value of the hand count as 2 higher than normal and the attack is further enhanced based on which ring was used:
: ''Ruby-slotted Ring:'' The attack deal an additional 2d6 fire damage and the attack is an automatic critical threat.
: ''Emerald-slotted Ring:'' The attack deal an additional 2d6 acid damage and ignore hardness and damage reduction.

: ''Topaz-Slotted Ring:'' The attack deal an additional 2d6 electricity damage and is made as a touch attack.
: ''Onyx-slotted Ring:'' The attack deal an additional 2d6 negative energy damage. If the attack it slay the struck creature it raise as a Corpse Creature<sup>BoVD</sup> with half hit point under your control for 1 minute. Then it dies as normal.

Once a ring is used, the finger it was one closes and it cannot be used again. Once all five fingers are closed the Hand of the Archlich become the [[Fist of the Archlich (3.5e Equipment)|Fist of the Archlich]].
