The primary obstacle in creating a hybrid of two weapons was to bring out the best of both, which means a flawless integration.
A gauntlet is a melee weapon with a maximum range of the wielder's arm length whereas a bow is designed to kill from a distance. The failure of the bow as a melee weapon can be compensated by the gauntlet, but how!?
A gauntlet is small and is no more than an oversized glove but the bow is a whole different story. The larger the frame is, the more powerful the force is delivered.
"How about a bow that flattens and wraps around the palm to become a gauntlet?" The earthling asked and Sage's reply was instantaneous. "That's the peak of insanity, but I like it!"
"Will there be a structural instability or discomfort while switching between two weapons?" The earthling asked again and the elder shook his head. "Though what that is being created is a whole new alloy that never existed, I can assure you that no glitch or hitch will occur."
