Show

At first glance, the cloak seems tailored from some strange dark silk. But as the garment darkens and shifts, it becomes clear that the cloak is woven from the shadows themselves. Its folds are dark and thick but have the consistency of air, drifting about like a fog cloud on a murky day. The cloak almost seems alive at times, wavering in tandem with the shadows around it. Black tendrils break free to caress the surrounding gloom, as if yearning to return to the darkness from which the cloak was wrought.

Verbs

Open:
As you open the cloak, the shadows retreat from around you.

Close:

Tilt:
You tug at the edge of your cloak and sway the shadowy draping back and forth, causing the ambient light to be absorbed into your garment.
