Of course it was that skinny 18 year old boy. Hmmm. The wizard remembered that the boy had been a little down looking and decided to explain that the glove could change anyone into the next thing they touched with it on. The boy seemed excited but didn't have enough money.
"I wonder if that boy stole it?" pondered the wizard.
So the wizard played a game of his own. He cast a spell on the glove so that it would slowly change him instead of change him all at once.
"That should do it..." the wizard was happy.
