| − | Wearing a '''cloak of darkness''' grants you the [[Evoke Invisibility]] [[ability]], allowing you to turn [[invisible]] at will. Although it requires a high [[Evocations]] skill to use reliably or for a long duration, there are no penalties for failing to evoke it, so even low-level characters can make some use of it. However, invisibility's benefits come with significant [[hunger]] and [[magic contamination]] costs, and are less dramatic than one might expect. See the [[Invisible]] article for details.

| − | This cloak also grants its wearer the ability to become visible at will, a useful option when trying to minimize magic contamination.

| |
| − | Although not without its uses, darkness is by far the least useful cloak [[ego]]. It provides no passive benefits, and its active ability is duplicated by [[ring of invisibility|a ring]], [[potion of invisibility|a potion]], [[wand of invisibility|wand]], and [[invisibility|a spell]]. [[Stab]]bers might use it until they find another reliable source of invisibility, but after that even a mundane elven cloak is preferable for its [[stealth]] boost.
