You always were able to separate the tools, they don't have any sort of "they have to stay together" lore stuff, quite the opposite (after all, Dagoth Ur had the weapons when Vivec wielded the gauntlet).

It's more that something's fucked with Keening due to various bullshit. I wanted to fix the bugged enchantment (after having to explain to Todd a bunch of times that a 0 charge 0 cost enchantment isn't infinite, but only fires once) but they didn't allow CC stuff to implement bugfixes, so I just went with the whole empowerment thing.
