A mage rechargable cloak with iron skin that morphs into three descriptions.

[Grim Reaper]

Auctioning off a long stygian black tailcoat with soulstone buttons on the sleeves should there be an interest. The tailcoat is a morphing cloak with three alterable sides. In addition it contains the spell Iron Skin and is mage rechargable. It currently weighs 8lbs and has not been further deepened or further lightened, but it can be. Take your pure caster up to the next level. Minimum is 1mil. Sold to Shanng for 4mil.

Here are the other two sides of the tailcoat:

rub my tailcoat
The tailcoat shimmers slightly as your fingers graze the edge.
You have a collared green velvet tailcoat caught by twin rows of jet in your right hand.

rub my tailcoat
The tailcoat shimmers slightly as your fingers graze the edge.
You have a silk-lapelled black velvet tailcoat tucked with square cufflinks in your right hand.

Iron Skin as per Krakiipedia:

Iron Skin transforms the caster's skin into a thick hide that acts like armor. The caster gains the defensive benefits of wearing heavier armor without suffering the penalties.

The base effect is to create a full leather equivalent (Armor Subgroup (AsG) 6), and can be increased to more powerful armor with training. The AsG increases by one according to seed 1 of one fifth the caster's ranks in Mental Lore, Transformation.


You sense a faint aura of magic around the tailcoat. You also feel a faint drawing sensation from it, as though when its charge is depleted, it may be refilled. From the pitch of the vibration you determine that the purpose of the tailcoat is to cast a spell or perform some magical purpose.

As you sing, you feel a faint resonating vibration from the tailcoat in your hand...

The tailcoat contains the spell Iron Skin, from the Minor Mental circle.

You sense that the tailcoat will persist after its last magical charge has been expended.

You analyze your tailcoat and sense that the item is largely free from merchant alteration restrictions.

The creator has also provided the following information:
This tailcoat may be altered by a talented merchant. If the tailcoat has more than one long or show aesthetic, then any base description must make sense for all of the different aesthetics, and most merchants can only alter one of the aesthetics in a single sitting. If the tailcoat only has one aesthetic, a handful of merchants may be willing and able to add a second aesthetic. An even smaller handful of merchants may be able to add even more aesthetics, but finding such a handful will be difficult.

You can try to RUB the tailcoat.

You might be able to have a talented merchant lighten the tailcoat for you or have its pockets deepened.

How is the bonus from Transformation lore calculated on this?

[Grim Reaper]

I'm no more fluent in the spell then you are, but after reading up on it. My understanding is when using the spell while wearing robes your AsG turns into that of full leather which is AsG 6. The AsG then continues to increase by 1 with Mental Lore, Transformation training according the seed 1 chart.

This is the summation seed chart link: http://www.play.net/gs4/info/spells/lores.asp#Summation

The seed 1 chart indicates the following:
5 ranks = 1 bonus which yields reinforced leather equivalent AsG
15 ranks = 2 bonus which yields double leather equivalent AsG
30 ranks = 3 bonus which yields leather breastplate equivalent AsG
50 ranks = 4 bonus which yields cuirbouilli leather euivalent AsG
75 ranks = 5 bonus which yields studded leather equivalent AsG
105 ranks = 6 bonus which yields brigandine equivalent AsG

If someone knows a better explanation feel free to contribute to the knowledge base.

loresung value?

[Grim Reaper]

As you sing, you feel a faint resonating vibration from the tailcoat in your hand, and you learn something about it...

The first thing that strikes you about the tailcoat is the weight, which is about 8 pounds. In your best estimation, it's worth about 75,000 silvers.

So just to make sure, you get the full lore benefits from a spell activated from MIU/AS even if it's non-native? Or does this item not fal into the MIU category? Sorry for my noobness

[Aluvius]

Its a spell from a minor list so you get full lore benefits. Major and professional lists are the ones that get the penalties to lore I think.

Is there a chance of "greening" with this cloak or whatever its called when you make it not able to recharge any more?

[Grim Reaper]

I really can't answer the question with 100% certainty. What I do know is the cloak is fresh and unused. Perhaps someone has recharged a piece of clothing in the past to the point of corruption and can expand on this?

[Aluvius]

I hear you, only thing keeping me from bidding. 1202 items are neat for empaths.

[Grim Reaper]

This is now sold.
