Shield Capes, once unlocked, provide a chance to block an incoming physical or magical attack. This percentage increases with each tier.

Analyze

You analyze your spidersilk cloak and sense that the creator has provided the following information:

A black spidersilk cloak banded with tiny metallic threads is part of the Shield Cape Collection, which was purchased at Duskruin in the shop "Shield Thyself".  It's current status is OTS and that gives it access to the following verbs: pull (removes brooch), push (adds brooch), remove, turn (removes bangle), twist (adds bangle), wear

To upgrade its abilities, you will need to obtain an unlock certificate.

Brooch Data: (Default Brooch) A scarab-shaped red carbuncle brooch can be changed by using PULL to remove the brooch and PUSH to add a new one.  Please note, only specialized brooches will work.  Once your brooch is upgraded from the default piece, it unlocks a 50% chance to retain a charge within it for each successful block.  When the brooch reaches 10 charges, it automatically flares and absorbs all of the charges.

Bangle Data: (Default Bangle)  A seven-sided alabaster bangle can be changed by using TURN to remove the bangle and TWIST to add a new one.  Please note, only specialized bangles will work.  Once your bangle is upgraded from the default piece, it provides an additional 25% chance to absorb a charge.  It will not provide this additional percentage chance if the brooch is not upgraded.  Additionally, bangles can have special unlocks to change the flare type.

You may alter a black spidersilk cloak banded with tiny metallic threads freely providing it does not contradict the messaging.  The cloak can never be a jacket, a longcoat, a coat, a robe, or any similar nouns based on its design.  Nor will it ever have a hood.  This garment will attach at the left wrist by a seven-sided alabaster bangle, slide over the arm and across the left shoulder.  It will then dip down the back (under wings for the Aelotoi), under the right arm, and can be pulled across the chest so that it is pinned at the left shoulder with a scarab-shaped red carbuncle brooch.

You might be able to have a talented merchant lighten the spidersilk cloak for you or deepen its pockets.
