A small visual/aesthetic suggestion regarding Magic Imbued Gauntlets and its variants

To my understanding, attempting to recolor Magic Imbued Gauntlets and its higher-tiered variants only recolors the particle effects, and doesn't recolor the garish neon purple metal beneath. Additionally, there is no way I'm aware of to prevent them from overriding your character's Hands and Bracers while in use. Unlike devices such as Therakiel's Blade or Cloak of the Infinite Planes, this is... understandably bad for aesthetics, unless your character's aesthetic happens to explicitly be the exact same shades of neon purple metal and glowing purple and nothing else. Given Champions Online's focus on costuming and aesthetics first and foremost, it wouldn't surprise me if this alone was why people don't use these things more often.

To that end, I'd like to suggest the following: add a "concealed" variant for each version of this device to the Lemurian Refugee store that can be exchanged for free and vise versa if you have the base version available. They'd be perfectly identical mechanically, the only difference would be aesthetic: they wouldn't replace your costume with an ugly blob of neon purple.

Some things really just don't belong.
The fact that the forums refuse to tell you how close you are to the character/post size limit until you attempt to post something that happens to be too big- and the automated spam filter will immediately completely lock you out of posting long-term if you attempt to post or edit posts too close to the character limit- is genuine agony.

This is my cry for help
