Memnoch, enlighten me. How was the new cloak different than the old. I never use the damned thing, hate the optical effect. Plus, is it different in SoA if you have ToB installed?

The old effect was a Spell Deflection effect and graphic (a shining disk around the feet of the character), which most players thought was extremely overpowered (you could walk through a beholder lair and they'd all kill themselves without you lifting a finger).

The new effect is a Spell Trap effect that absorbs magical damage rather than deflects it. It's better balanced, but unfortunately comes with the Spell Trap graphic (which is a glowing webbed sphere which considerably obscures the character). This is the case as long as you have ToB installed - whether or not you are in SoA or ToB.
