The Steelcloak

The Steelcloak is a highly magical garment crafted by Erodalav the Warden, a mighty magus and father of Valadore Steelcloak, who's name comes from the artifact itself.

Features
The Steelcloak is something of a misnomer, as it is not actually made of steel (it also isn't made of cloak. This may be because cloak is not a material). The robe is actually a magical blend of mithril and silk from specially bred giant spiders acquired from the drow. The cloak is rather long and flowing, easily covering the wearer in a shimmering layer and hiding anything they may be holding or otherwise keeping on their person. It also has a low hanging hood with a loose weave that allows it's wearer to look about uninhibited while still having a concealed face. There is a gentle but insistent aura of magic about the Steelcloak which is unmistakable to those with knowledge of magic and awe-inspiring to those without.

Abilities
The cloak, now in Valadore's possession, is a powerful magical artefact designed to store and access vast amounts of magical power. When worn, the Steelcloak creates a "network" or sorts between itself and any magical items in the wearer's possession capable of holding spell energy. Using the spell energy in these items and itself, it is capable of flawlessly countering spells and altering cast spells with metamagic, providing the wearer is capable of both of these feats of spellcasting.

More mundanely, the Steelcloak's composition makes it tough and durable, allowing it to function as basic armour.
