Ok, I have a cloak of the wolf, and I have it equipped. Its sole stat is it allows the wearer to polymorph into a wolf anytime they want. I cannot figure out how to polymorph myself! The icon isn't in special abilities, spells, and I can't equip the cloak as a quick item. Please help me! There are other items too

On your interface bar at the bottom of the screen there is an icon (to the right of the spell button if you are a mage or cleric) that looks like a pouch with a strap on it. This button allows you to access the abilities of all worn items, such as cloaks, rings, and amulets. Also, are you playing BGI or BGII? This is a BGII forum. I remember the cloak of the wolf from BGI, but not BGII. Anyway, I hope the above helps.

Thanks Zenith! It worked! The cloak of the wolf is in BGII after completing the Deaths in the Umar Hills quest with the mayor.

WOW. I somehow missed the cloak my last time through. I'll be sure not to miss it next time through.
