So...here it be:

Witchblade

From Wikipedia....

The Witchblade is an intelligent, ancient, and conscious weapon with extraterrestrial origins. It is one of thirteen weapons of this type. It is the offspring of the universe's opposing aspects, the Darkness and the Angelus (the dark and the light). The Witchblade is a male aspect created to act as a balance, which must have a female as a host. The Witchblade was discovered in modern times in Greece by Kenneth Irons, but before he found it had many wielders. When not in use, it can look like an ornate, jewel encrusted, right-handed gauntlet. When wielded by an unworthy user, that person will lose their arm. It forms a symbiotic relationship with the host, who can hear the Witchblade. When used, it expands across the body of the wielder, shredding clothes and covering the body like an armour. The amount and coverage of the armour depends on the level of the threat. For example, when facing mortals, it will usually generate less armour than when facing a demon of hell. This armor can produce extensions of itself that can form swords, other stabbing weapons, hooks, chains, shields, and wings, enabling the wielder to fly. It may also become temperamental if it chooses not to be used. When wielded, it can shoot energy blasts from the hand or sword, fire projectile darts, and whip-like grapples to attack or to climb. The Witchblade is also an excellent lock pick, and can heal wounds, even mortal ones. The Witchblade can re-animate the dead, empathically show the wielder scenes of great trauma, and allow the wielder to relive experiences from past wielders as dreams.

That is one damn wicked accessory. Remind me not to go mall shopping with you. Ouch!

Can you get one at Target?

Peace to the Witchblade-ess.

murat/lee: I wish - and I'd never run out of excuses for needing new clothes. Hmmm, maybe I better hit the gym a little harder.

It totally appealed to the wannabe badass in me, as well as that spiritual side - as much protection as needed, and tempormental...struck a cord within too but anyways...

J.S., here we have the Swiss Army Knife elevated to cosmic proportions. Generates armor, shoots energy blasts, picks lock, heals wounds, raises the dead. AND it must have a female as a host.

Love the Jungian implications of that.
