To the north, a foundry lies low against the river, belching smoke as the whining of the sawmill fills the air from the east. A delicately painted clock face leans against the foundry wall. In the center of the dirt yard looms a half-built clock tower, supported by layered scaffolding.

Crow Brother's Cloak
Aura moderate transmutation; CL 7th
Slot shoulders; Price 8,000 gp; Weight 1 lb.

Description
This flowing, black silken cloak glitters with an iridescent sheen like a crow’s wing. When the wearer moves, the fabric seems to dance on the air, as though longing to take flight.

With a command the cloak dissolves into a swirling murder of crows, which faithfully surround their master for up to 13 rounds per day. These rounds need not be consecutive. The crow swarm (treat as bat swarm (see Bestiary)) acts immediately. The swarm deals no damage to the wearer and provides concealment as long as he remains within it. It is a free action to recall the swarm into cloak form. Once per day the wearer may choose to merge with the swarm as a swift action, granting it his mental stats and hit points, otherwise treat this as a polymorph effect. Rounds spent as part of the swarm count towards total rounds per day.

If the swarm is reduced to 0 hit points, it returns to cloak form immediately and cannot be transformed again for 24 hours. If the wearer is merged with it when this happens then his body drops to the ground and the swarm returns to cloak form.
