Mantle of Mystical Marvels

This storied cloak, frayed at the edges and inscribed with the residue of ancient magic, carries patches that are each a font of arcane energy. The patches, glowing with an inner light, stand out against the garment's time-worn fabric.

Properties:

The Mantle contains 25 patches, each a symbol of magical potential, varying in shape and size, adorned with symbols and glyphs that glow softly. As an action, the wearer may remove a patch to replicate a spell or create an item. The item or spell's effect functions as per the description.


After a patch is removed, it leaves a faint outline that can be refilled with magic, regenerating a new patch. Regeneration requires 2 hours of focused concentration and the expenditure of spell slots described with each patch.


Spell Points: When regenerating a patch of a higher level of spell slots than you have spell levels you can expend the amount of spell points for the slot to regenerate the patch in a combination of spell slot points for each of the levels used. If you regenerate a patch requiring a spell slot of 5th level but only have 4th level spell slots, you can instead spend spell slots equalling the level need. Example: 5th level regeneration requirement, spend 4th level spell slot (6 points) and a 1st level spell slot (2 points) totalling a 5th level spell slot spending a total of 8 spell points.


Alternatively: You can instead spend the total number of spell points equal to the number of spell points required to cast a spell of that level but don't have spell slots of that level yet, you can alternatively spend 7 spell points for a 5th level (using example above) and also take an exhaustion point as well.
