Cloak of Spectral Wings

Charges: 7 (regains at dawn)

A midnight-black cloak woven from fine velvet, edged with silver thread that shimmers faintly like moonlight. Silvery runes spiral along its hem, and when you touch the cloak's clasp, the fabric seems to sigh. When commanded, the cloak splits into spectral wings that span behind you, like a living halo of smoke and starlight.

Unfolding Wings As an action, you may expend 1 charge to cause the cloak to unfurl into translucent, ghostly wings that rise from your back. While the wings are unfurled, you gain a flying speed of 60 feet and can hover. The wings remain unfurled for a number of minutes equal to the number of charges you expended to activate them (minimum 1 minute). After the duration ends, the wings fold back into the cloak and you descend. The cloak regains spent charges at dawn.

Lore

Legends say the cloak was woven by wind-wraiths during the Eclipse Age, to grant their favored messenger a cloak that could ride the tempests. It has passed through the hands of sky-pirates, storm rangers, and the forgotten child of a dragon, always returning to the owners who earn its trust.

History

The cloak's current name traces back to the courier Lyria Vael, who vanished while chasing a comet, leaving behind only the cloak and a set of winged tattoos. The cloak is said to be a partial soul-binding with the wind, and those who attempt to steal it find themselves blown far off course by an unseen current.
