-With +2 enchantment, see invisibility, and a stealth bonus, but -2 slaying, the cloak of the Thief<ref>{{source ref|0.31.0|art-data.txt|811}}</ref> is an okay cloak before you factor in the clouds. Slow weapons with high base damage (like [[heavy]] weapons) can largely ignore the slaying penalty, but [[quick blade]] users may prefer a plain cloak, and most weapons lie somewhere in between. The clouds can potentially allow you to ignore all threats that are not within a 2 tile radius of you, making it easier to escape from ranged enemies. However, this is not reliable, and they can just as easily prevent you from blinking away from a dangerous monster that is already in melee. Clouds also make ranged options less viable, so this cloak is better for melee builds that don't mind the -2 slaying penalty.
+The cloak of the Thief is a useful item if you prefer to avoid attention. Halving the intensity of all nearby noise means you won't be attracting many enemies from beyond your line of sight, cutting down on the number of threats you'll have to deal with. Stabbers in particular will appreciate the reduced noise made by any targets they engage in standard combat or that wake up before they can reach them, but other characters relying on particularly noisy spells or equipment, such as [[hand cannon]]s, [[Mephitic Cloud]], or [[Arcjolt]], will find themselves drawing fewer foes from offscreen. Even particularly loud effects like [[alarm trap]]s, [[Fulminant Prism]], or monsters with [[Warning Cry]] will attract significantly less attention than they otherwise would.

 ==Desirability==
-Being able to generate clouds of smoke and fog on demand is incredibly powerful when used correctly - it allows you to ignore all threats that are not within a 2 tile radius of you, almost like a better version of the [[Darkness]] spell. This is really strong for melee builds and most definitely worth the -2 slaying. Even for characters with ranged weapons, the ability to block line of sight to dangerous ranged enemies like [[fire giant]]s or [[golden dragon]]s makes this cloak useful.
