In addition, the cloak offers protection against fear effects caused by others, whether they are natural abilities or spells. While wearing the cloak, the caster can remain resolute in the face of such fear-inducing instances. Take note, however, creatures that naturally instill fear, such as certain undead, are immune to the cloak's effects.

If the caster wishes, the cloak can be made to manifest visibly. In that event, it appears as a ghostly semi-translucent shape that drapes over the shoulders, melding seamlessly with the wearer's form. This feature adds 1 point of charisma to the caster, due to a moderate sense of awe to which the image contributes.

The spell is quite able to be used in tandem with magical cloaks.
