With elemental hands, being weakened wont make you lose your weapon. So you dont have to worry about disarms through loss of strength.
I do wish that you could charge your hands during combat, though. :P (You should always carry a weapon with you, for when your hands lose their elemental charge.)
And I completely agree with Glor, using elemental hands allows for two held items -- a light (there are some *very* powerful "lights" in the game) and a shield or a true held item. Of course, you can't expect to have the cube of force or the sceptre of domination...
> With touches, as Glor, I could hold another item, usually a boiled leather shield, very handy, or the pear of power. Dont forget about the cube of force, it makes an invoker wicked. Touches + Shield + held item
