-While worn, a droven cloak grants 0 base [[AC]], 0 [[DR]] and [[MC3]]. [[Apply]]ing a droven cloak can lay down [[web]]s on adjacent squares, which lowers the magic cancellation of the cloak by 1 and will use up the cloak when its MC reaches 0 - this can also be used to 'pick up' existing webs, which removes them and restores the MC of the cloak (up to a maximum of 3).
