Default Re: Suggestions for item enchantments

This is more brainstorming for story ideas, to be honest; I'm basing the magic system on GURPS. Her sword and its case were made of materials able to survive vacuum exposure, as was her fencing uniform, and she has a jade ryu bracelet, an heirloom from Japan, and a silver brooch from the fencing academy, plus her pin with the ship's insignia. The rest of her things were kept in a warmed, nitrogen-filled compartment, but after thousands of years of vacuum exposure, well.

I just had an idea. I'm already pretty well committed to her fencing uniform being more protective, even to the point of acting as an environment suit. Obviously she'll want to wear it in combat, but she must wear one of its gloves to use her sabre. Why? In an inversion of Mjölnir, whose head was too hot for Thor to handle without the protection of Jarngripnr (in some versions), her sabre when picked up turns cold as interstellar space, and only her fencing gloves can prevent it from freezing her hands.
