A Hand of Glory is a preserved severed hand that can serve as a source of light, either due to its holding a candle (often one made from human tallow) or because each finger has been made into an individual candle. The Hand was often said to have belonged to a hanged man – either his left hand or, if the man was a murderer, the hand that did the deed. Another source is the arm of an unborn child. The Hand is variously ascribed a number of magical abilities that it is supposed to produce whilst the wick stays lit, generally any power that would be of use to a sneaky thief, including providing a light that only the wielder can see, unlocking any door it comes across, or sending anyone into a household or who looks into the flame to sleep or paralyzing them. Generally an artifact of Black Magic, seen as something that no respectable Gentleman Wizard would own, use, or even want to touch. |

Hunter: The Vigil has the Hand as a top-level example of the Cheiron Group's Thaumatechnology. Instead of granting invisibility, however, it grants a light that enthralls all who see it. Unlike other examples, the user needs to have it grafted to their wrist first. It's always a bit cold and wrinkled, like you just pulled it out of a bath. Fun times can ensue if you blow the roll to use it — you get stuck staring at it yourself until someone puts it out (the flames don't consume your flesh, but only go out if you stick them in milk). And that's not even going into the cocktail of immunosuppressants required to keep your body from rejecting it. | |

Hellboy In Box of Evil, Igor Bromhead uses a Hand to steal a box that had the demon Ualac trapped inside. It paralyzes the homeowner while Bromhead steals the box right in front of him, leaving the Hand behind and forcing his victim to wait for hours before he could move again. Another appears in Being Human, Hellboy has a Oh, Crap! moment when he sees it while Roger remains unaffected because he's "not human". It doesn't help Roger's angsting about not being human. |

Middlegame: Hands of Glory are a recurring motif, used both by the villains and one Anti-Hero to veil their actions. They need to be made from the victims of deliberate, premeditated murder — the gorier the better — and generate a Perception Filter around the wielder and the people they're engaged with that negates even powerful Tracking Spells. | |

In Conquest Of Elysium 2, the necromancer class uses Hands of Glory as catalyst for their more complex necromantic rituals, opening the veil between life and death to summon undead monsters or obtain knowledge. The sequel Conquest of Elysium 4 adds the Markgraf class, who has a hobbit necromancer sidekick that also uses Hands of Glory for their rituals. | |

The hand came from a man hung for treason on a ship captained by his brother and acts as his fetter, allowing him to take vengeance on the people responsible for the death of their own family members. | |

The Hand of Glory from Dungeons & Dragons and Pathfinder can be worn around the neck (presumably not alight). It provides an extra place to wear a magic ring (at the cost of being able to wear a magical necklace) along with being able to cast a few spells. Specifically, it casts daylight (makes an object emit light) and see invisibility (Exactly What It Says on the Tin) once a day even though these are the opposite of the usual stealth uses for the Hand. These spells make it more usual for catching a sneak rather then sneaking around. The Glorious Hand from "The Hanged Man" web enhancement for Song & Silence 3E edition book is much closer to the original legends. The candles on each of the fingers of the Glorious Hand light at will, providing light for the user, rapping the Hand on a door or container produces an effect like the Knock spell, unlocking it and it can produce a hold person effect on command, freezing the target in place. |

Res Arcana: The artifact Hand of Glory is a severed hand being used as a candle — each finger has a wick in it, with one of them being lit. Its creepiness is highlighted by the fact that it not only gives you quite a few Death essences, but spreads Death to your opponents as well.note Granted, your opponents receiving Death essences is an upside for them because it gives them more resources, but it still contributes to the creepy flavour. | |

When Savannah wants to use the Hand to sneak out of house, Cortez says that the claims of invisibility are just a myth and that all that it can do is prevent sleeping people from waking (and weakly at that). | |

Call of Cthulhu In "The Auction" adventure from the Cthulhu Casebook, the investigators attend an Auction of occult items from the collections of bankrupt Austrian nobles at the House of Ausperg in Vienna. The fourth item to be sold is a Hand of Glory that proves to be an authentic artifact but it has no magical powers. In the "Slow Boat" adventure from Fearful Passages, occultist Marcus Raven tricks the investigators into coming with him because a necromancer called Thathmuor is holding his girlfriend captive and says he will only let her go if Raven brings him a some suitable subjects to perform experiments on. Knowing full well that Thathmuor does not intend on holding up his end of the deal, Raven came prepared with a Hand of Glory. The Hand springs to life if group is captured by Thathmuor then scuttles like a spider into a crack in the wall and later opens the magically sealed entrance to Thathmuor's fortress so that a rival necromancer can slay him. |

In From Hell With Love, it's revealed that Methuselah was in the Nightside during the events of Agents of Light and Darkness. He stole an angel's hand so that he could use it to open a passage to the afterlife. In another Secret Histories story, one of the many weapons which some enemy Mooks try to use against the Droods is a Hand of Glory made from the hand of a mummy, which was presumably cursed even before being made into one. It's no match for Drood armor, and disintegrates. |

Ravenloft features the Hand of Glory, in several different styles. Each different form of the hand has its own special powers — and its own special curses. The Many-Fingered, One-Fingered, Three-Fingered and Unfingered variants appeared in the 2nd edition supplement "Forged of Darkness", then reappeared alongside the Four-Fingered and Two-Fingered variants in the Ravenloft Gazetteer V. Many-Fingered Hands of Glory provide a boost of necromantic magic, but can displace the user's soul when they are extinguished. One-Fingered Hands of Glory increase durability and grant a Healing Factor, but drain life-force when they are extinguished. Three-Fingered Hands of Glory boost the potency of a user's spells, but causes a potentially deadly surge of raw magical energy in the user when snuffed. Unfingered Hands of Glory provide shocking increases in mobility to the user, but age them in exchange for this speed and agility boost. Four-Fingered Hands of Glory are the classic "put people to sleep" variety, but cause nightmares in their user in exchange for their power. Finally, Two-Fingered Hands of Glory allow their bearer to enter the ethereal plane, but serve as beacons for the hostile creatures that throng that eerie otherworld. | |

Darkest Dungeon: You get three of the "each finger is a candle" variety in the second mission in the eponymous dungeon. They're quest items used to light the Iron Crowns to force the Eldritch Abomination responsible for the game's events to reveal itself before it's fully matured. When you use one, you hear an echoing wail.Fun fact If you leave the rooms where you use the Hands of Glory without using one, a Game-Breaking Bug will softlock the interaction and force you to retreat from the mission to proceed with the game. | |

Shadowrun: The 5th edition Street Grimoire details a Necromancy ritual for creating a Hand of Glory that allows the magician to use the skills of the person that the hand was taken from. To reuse the Hand, it must be treated with the blood of magician but doing this can lead to darker forms of Blood Magic. The book also advises against trying to posses more than one Hand of Glory, warning that the Hands may seek vengeance on their creator if not used - idle hands being the devil's tools and all that. | |

The Laundry Files has Hands of Glory serving as channels for an extradimensional energy source. Not only do they bestow invisibility, they can be used to fire Frickin' Laser Beams, though the later causes the hand to degrade. The Laundry usually gets theirs from stray birds (ever wonder why there are so many one-legged pigeons?), though Chinese political prisoners aren't unheard of. | |

Lost Girl episode "Fae Gone Wild" a group of Selkies use a Hand to recover their pelts from a safe. The smoke generates a spectral hand that flies through walls to the safe and dispels the enchantment protecting it before opening the door. Unfortunately, the hand then starts choking the girl who lit it, leaving her friends to quickly douse the flames with milk to deactivate it. | |

One of Ghost Finders team leader J.C. Chance's favorite pieces of mystical equipment is a (highly illegal) Hand of Glory made out of a monkey's paw. Opening doors plus wish-granting equals major Reality Warper potential. | |

Referenced in The Mangler, the short story by Stephen King. It's described both literally (as a man's arm is ripped off by the titular machine) and metaphorically as one of several items used to call demons. And it's very, very bad. | |

Fallen London: Hands of Glory can be sent as gifts during the Feast of the Exceptional Rose. Nothing says love like a severed limb that helps you sneak around. Every so often you might get a Rat of Glory. Containing no actual rats, unless you were exceptionally unlucky and they turned out to be candle thieves. |

In Little Witch Academia (2017), there's one of these on a desk in the main characters' dorm room. Suffice it to say that it most likely belongs to Sucy. | |

One of the objectives Thief: The Dark Project is to retrieve Garrett's Hand of Glory from the beggar, Issyt who managed to smuggle the Hand with him into Cragscleft Prison. Downplayed in that the Hand doesn't have any actual supernatural abilities— it's just a Good Luck Charm. | |

In The House With a Clock in Its Walls, the villian Mrs. Izard uses a Hand to momentarily paralyze Jonathan and Mrs. Zimmermann when they and Lewis finally find the hidden Doomsday Clock; she probably killed her human minion Hammerhandle in order to construct it. | |

Unknown Armies: It can paralyze anyone who looks into the flame as long as it is lit or until the victim is hurt and leaves them with no memory of what happened, but the hand can only be used indoors. Hands of Glory can be crafted by anyone regardless of magical power. | |

The Bartimaeus Trilogy book The Golem's Eye: Harlequin carries one such "distinctive candle". When Harlequin uses it to cast a spell to stun anything in the graveyard where they are meeting, Nathaniel protests that he recognises the spell as the Illuminated Circlet and that it does not require a hand of a corpse to cast. Harlequin insists that things like "blood, ritual, sacrifice, death" are at the heart of their magic and are not to be ignored. | |
