Witching Cloak is an immensely powerful magic cloak for Fables.
History
An an immensely powerful magical relic, later revealed to've been crafted by Mr. Dark using his Bag of Endless Nightmares and Infinite Screams. As the cloak was a tool he essentially created using his very essence, said artifice is immensely powerful in capability and usage. This magical relic was assigned to Boy Blue as a means of testing it's full utilities when he first donated it to the Fabletown vault. Blue had previously been bequeathed the relic by Colonel Bearskin as a means to escape the battle at the Last Castle once the enemy overpowered them. When the final resistance fell, Boy Blue used it to teleport himself onto the final ship out to the Mundy realm.
It was later used by Boy Blue during his infiltration of the Homelands. He managed to sneak his way through the Adversary's forces by taking on different forms.
The cloak was a catalyst in Boy Blue's death as well. While wearing the Cloak, Blue tried to block a magic arrow from hitting Bigby. As the arrow was enchanted to always hit it's mark, it negated the cloaks protective barrier, travelling straight through Boy Blue's arm, to hit it's target. A piece of the cloak became lodged inside Boy Blue's body, and it made him gradually weaker until he passed on.
Shortly after Mister Dark's reawakening, the Witching Cloak disintegrated and vanished, it's magic having been drained into his person.
Capabilities
