a sinew-backed leather gauntlet
LOOK Gauntlet
The gauntlet is crafted largely of leather, though tendon-like filaments splay across the back of the hand. Each filament runs through a matching stud resembling a bone at the wrist and dots the knuckles where drakar joint-shaped studs bind them in place. Starting at the pinky, there is rhimar sinew, followed by drakar, gornar, and zorchar, culminating with white ora sinew connecting to the thumb.
PINCH GAUNTLET
As if plucking the strings of an instrument, you pinch the filaments on your leather gauntlet and cause a pulse of energy to transform the joints from drakar to gornar.
RUB GAUNTLET
As you run your fingers along the back of your gauntlet-encased hand, you feel a tremor in the ground beneath your feet that rises as a tremor through your body. The concussive vibration rattles up your spine and beneath your ribs before coursing down the length of your arm and into the palm of your leather-clad palm, manifesting a striated grey stone javelin.
DROP JAVELIN
You release your grey stone javelin, and as it hits the ground, vibrations radiate outward from its landing point, causing tingling in the soles of your feet as it dissipates.
PINCH GAUNTLET
As if plucking the strings of an instrument, you pinch the filaments on your leather gauntlet and cause a pulse of energy to transform the joints from gornar to rhimar.
RUB GAUNTLET
Running your hand across your leather gauntlet-encased palm, you feel a familiar chill encase your hand. You thrust it into the air, causing energy to draw the moisture from your very surroundings and transform it into an azure-veined glassy icicle.
DROP ICICLE
You release your glassy icicle, causing it to fall to the ground and shatter like a piece of glass.
PINCH MY GAUNTLET
As if plucking the strings of an instrument, you pinch the filaments on your leather gauntlet and cause a pulse of energy to transform the joints from rhimar to white ora.
RUB MY GAUNTLET
As you trace your fingertips reverently across the back of your gauntlet-encased hand, brown light gathers around your wrist before spiraling over the heel of your hand to collect in your palm. As you close your fingers around the incandescent illumination, it solidifies into a green-veined bolt of pure brown energy.
CONVERT STATUS
{abridged} You have been a devout follower of Luukos since Leyan, Imaerasta 11, 5119 (9/11/19).
DROP BOLT
You release your green-veined bolt, and as it tumbles end over end to the ground, its corporeal form shivers violently, releasing a green flare of light as it shifts into an ephemeral brown mist and dissipates on impact.
PINCH MY GAUNTLET
As if plucking the strings of an instrument, you pinch the filaments on your leather gauntlet and cause a pulse of energy to transform the joints from white ora to zorchar.
RUB MY GAUNTLET
As you press your palms together and rub, static builds along the joints of your leather gauntlet, stark blue-white threads of lightning that roil and build into a sphere in your palm. Snapping your gauntlet-encased hand closed around the energy, a crackling lightning bolt manifests in your grip.
DROP BOLT
You release your lightning bolt, and the air around it crackles as it falls, with fine threads of lightning crawling across the ground as it dissipates.
PINCH GAUNTLET
As if plucking the strings of an instrument, you pinch the filaments on your leather gauntlet and cause a pulse of energy to transform the joints from zorchar to drakar.
RUB GAUNTLET
As you run your free hand along the back of your gauntlet, warmth gathers in your leather-clad palm. It pulses rhythmically in time with your heartbeat, a comforting thrum that grows in intensity until sparks erupt from your fingertips. As you move to clench your fist, the heat solidifies in your hand in the form of a black-hearted fiery bolt.
DROP BOLT
You release your fiery bolt, and it hisses as it falls to the ground and shatters, flaming embers skittering outward before going cold.

Hello!
I did some research and asked a few professionals, here are the results of that conversation.
The item produced by these gauntlets not being able to be used in cmans is true of any javelin. This isn't unique to the gauntlets.
The item only flaring on hurls every time (in the case of the Greater) is intended. This item is a returner. It is not intended for anything but hurling.
The item is not buggy or broken because it does not do what you are asking. Its intended purpose is to be a true thrown weapon.
