Question:	... then how do you get the YMCA emote to do what it does? One would think that that code could be used to give gauntlets a fire/lightning/acid/ice effect, but then again, I'm not a dev. ;)

Answer:	Thats tied to the animation thats being played, not the item being worn. So in other words, we could make an animation that makes your hands catch on fire, but can't make gloves that burn when you wear them.
