We recently ran into a problem with the flesh gauntlets of Transmology.
They can take a shield run, but sheilds must be wielded. Gauntlets are
worn. So to reconcile this, I made a minor change to gauntlets. Wearing
the gauntlets will also wield one in one of your hands. See the AB help
file for the RP explanation why it takes a wield slot. This also makes
it on par with all other cosmic guardian guilds, which consume a wield
slot to use their special items.
