What causes a cloak to show a red beam at the AI crystal?

On the armor table you see a golden doeskin cloak, an augmented breastplate, some blackened platemail, some full plate, some double chain, some cuirbouilli leather, some half plate, some double leather and some full leather.


The sales clerk smiles and says, "Here, let me help you with that. Here we have a golden doeskin cloak. The selling price is 75 silvers."

The sales clerk says, "You can BUY the doeskin cloak if you like."
>look cloak
You see nothing unusual.
>inspect cloak
You carefully inspect a golden doeskin cloak.

Your careful inspection of a golden doeskin cloak allows you to conclude that it is not even armor that doesn't protect at all.

You determine that you could wear the cloak, hanging it from your shoulders.
Roundtime: 5 sec.
R>buy cloak
You decide to purchase the doeskin cloak, and pay the sales clerk 75 silvers.
The sales clerk picks up the doeskin cloak and checks to make sure it is in good condition. She says, "It seems a little used, but still in great shape."
She hands the doeskin cloak to you.

You swap your doeskin cloak from your right to your left hand.
>touch crys
Your disk arrives, following you dutifully.
>
You touch the crystal with one hand, your doeskin cloak in the other hand. Tiny sparks of brilliant golden light dance across your cloak. A red beam shoots up from your cloak toward the ceiling.

>exam my cloak
You see nothing unusual.

Get swung at wearing the cloak, and then not wearing the cloak.

If there's a DS difference when worn, congrats.

Most likely it won't show a DS difference, thanks to being one of these bastardized pieces born from a failed attempt at implementing breakage.

I'll laugh if you bought a 1x db cloak from the pawnshop for 75 silvers.

Sadly, no DS difference. So ... it's just a piece of junk?
The red beam indicates what then, I am confused.

Maybe it's an enhancive (but probably not). Check your skills, stats, regen rates, etc.

I enchanted that cloak just for fun. It's just a confused cloak that inspects as not armor that doesn't protect.

The GM says it DOES have a bonus, however, it is an old item that doesn't conform to the game system currently. So what other folks said, basically, was correct. For 75 silvers though, it was almost an awesome investment. :)

You didn't believe me when I told you I enchanted that cloak?
