Maiden's Hands: At first glance, the maiden's hands appear to be little more than a delicately embroidered pair of white silk gloves. However, closer inspection reveals that the fingertips of each glove are actually the mummified fingertips of a humanoid hand, the dead, inch long nails still intact.
The maiden's hands are powerful tools for any would-be seductress or assassin. As soon as the user places both gloves upon his hands, he is transformed into a beautiful female as though by the alter self spell and as dictated by the type of fingertips attached to the gloves. Most maiden's hands have been crafted to change the wearer into a human female (50%), however, several have been known to transform the wearer into an elven (30%), half-elven (10%), halfling (5%), or dwarven (5%) forms. The maiden's hands also undergo a change when their power is active, the mummified fingertips grow soft and life-like, and a pattern of roses, surrounded by similar thorny vines, appear painted across each nail. The gloves do not function for creatures of an inappropriate size (such as a human using maiden's hands that would turn him into a halfling). The power of the maiden's hands lasts as long as both gloves remain on the user's hands.
The greatest weakness of the maiden's hands is that they can only turn the wearer into one form. Each time the gloves are used, the wearer is changed into the same female form; that of the woman whose fingers were used to make the item.
