The battle wire is a leather glove outfitted with a thick metal plate on the
back of the hand. Each finger, thumb included, holds a hollow iron ring which contains
coiled wire and a release mechanism triggered with the release of chakra.
This weapon grants the wielder a +2 equipment bonus to Taijutsu checks made to enter
the Iron Wire Style stance, and grants the wearer a +2 bonus to make a disarm attempt
without risk of being disarmed. The battle wire is limited to 3 range increments (30 feet
maximum range), and can hold weapon seals normally.
It cannot be used as a melee weapon, but the battle wire still allows the wielder to deliver
unarmed attacks normally if the wires are not deployed.
The battle wire can be used in two-weapon fighting with another battle wire, using two
ranged weapons of the same type, and the wielder adds his Dexterity bonus to attack
and damage rolls with the battle wire.

Outside of the Iron Wire Style stance, the battle wire cannot be used as a weapon and
is a simple leather gauntlet.
