This spell causes a "shadowy patch of ether" to encompass the caster. It affords basic DS and TD benefits as well as the ability to empower the cloak with the ability to give retribution to a Sorcerer's foes.

Defense Generated

• +25 DS (+1 per Sorcerer Base rank > 12)
• +20 TD (+1 per ten Sorcerer Base ranks > 12)
• The scaling benefits max at your level.
• Each 3 additional DS generated will cause the spell to cost 1 more mana.

Chanting a Retribution

• To enable the cloak to retaliate, enter CHANT RETRIBUTION <spell_#>
• You must be stunned and taking damage from an attack for this effect to have the possibility of being triggered.
• If a non-attack spell is chanted, the cloak will lash out at its master, causing injury or possibly spirit drain (common when chanting 130).
• The probability for the cloak to retaliate begins at 45%, and is increased 1% by each Sorcerous Lore, Demonology rank known, at a maximum of 95% (50 ranks).
• To disable the retaliation effect, enter CHANT REMOVE.

Initial cast

A shadowy patch of ether rises up through the floor to encompass you, swiftly sinking into your skin.

Wearing off

A dark shadow seems to detach itself from your body, swiftly dissipating into the air.

Retribution Effect, shown with Disintegrate (705)

The wraith moans evilly!
A wraith tries to ensnare you!
  AS: +127 vs DS: +109 with AvD: +30 + d100 roll: +99 = +147
   ... and hits for 11 points of damage!
   Weak grapple around the neck bruises windpipe.
   You are stunned for 1 rounds!
A dark shadowy tendril rises up from your skin, writhes its way towards a wraith and lashes out malevolently...
  CS: +83 - TD: +45 + CvA: +25 + d100: +47 == +110
  Warding failed!
  A dull grey beam snakes out toward the wraith!
   ... 32 points of damage!
   ... 10 points of damage!
   Large gash to the right arm seals as strike passes through.
   ... 11 points of damage!
   Various bits of the wraith melt away!
