Cloak of the Whispering Shadows
Wondrous Item (Cloak), rare (requires attunement)
This elegant cloak is woven from fabric that seems to shimmer in shades of deep blue and black, resembling a night sky dotted with stars. When worn, it feels impossibly light, almost as if it is more a part of the shadows than a garment. The cloak is lined with a strange, silken material that absorbs sound, making your movements nearly silent.
While wearing this cloak, you gain the following benefits:
-
Shadowmeld: You have advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks made in dim light or darkness. Additionally, when you are in dim light or darkness, you can use a bonus action to magically teleport up to 15 feet to an unoccupied space you can see, provided you are within the area of dim light or darkness.
-
Whispers of the Veil: Once per long rest, you can invoke the cloak's magic to cast "Invisibility" on yourself without expending a spell slot. The cloak must remain on your person while you are invisible, and the effect ends if you attack or cast a spell.
-
Echoes of Insight: The cloak grants you proficiency in the Insight skill. If you are already proficient, you gain double your proficiency bonus to checks made with it. Additionally, once per long rest, you may ask a single question to the shadows at dusk or dawn. The GM will provide you with a vague but insightful hint regarding a nearby event, creature, or treasure.
This cloak is sought after by spies and shadowy figures for its ability to aid in stealth and subterfuge, but its magic also holds the whispers of the long-lost, echoing the secrets of the world around it.
