Charges: 7 (regains at dawn)

The cloak is a hooded wrap of midnight-black silk woven with sea-bloom fibers. The outer surface shimmers with a dark blue sheen like a moonlit sea, while the inside glows with a pale, shifting azure mist that seems to be in constant motion just beneath the fabric. The edges are trimmed with saline thread that cools the skin to the touch. A clasp of seashells and starfish motifs anchors the cloak; when worn, a faint, briny scent clings to the air.

Submerged Transformation When you are completely submerged in water, the cloak automatically seals around you and shifts into a swirling cloud of mist. While submerged, you can spend 1 charge to unleash the cloak's mist form for 1 minute. In this form, you gain a flying speed of 20 feet, you can move through creatures and objects as if they weren't there, and you can pass through water as if it were air. You can't cast or concentrate on spells while in this form. The form ends early if you attack, cast a spell, or if the duration ends. After the duration ends, you reappear in your cloak in the space you left.

Water's Breath While wearing this cloak, you can breathe underwater.

Silent Drift In damp or rainy environments, the cloak grants you stealth in wet conditions. You gain advantage on Stealth checks when you are moving in fog, rain, or other wet environments.

Lore

Forged by the Drowned Emissary of the Depth, the Cloak of Submerged Veil was created to grant escape to those who would vanish beneath the waves. Legends say it was woven from a thread of moonlight and water, blessed by a water-dwelling archfey who sought to hide secrets in the mist.

History

First worn by a corsair who fled a kraken's clutches, the cloak allowed him to slip into the mist and vanish from sight. The cloak later appeared in the possession of a sea hag who used it to spy from the surface, then vanished into the reef for decades before resurfacing in a sunken temple, where it was re-claimed by current owners.
