This finely crafted garment is made of blue and purple material. A pair of matched blue quartz crystals form the cloak’s clasp.

A cloak of soulbound resistance grants you a +1 resistance bonus on your saving throws.
In addition, it serves as a receptacle for your essentia, much as a soulmeld does. Every point of essentia invested in it increases the bonus by 1, subject to the maximum values noted below.
Each cloak of soulbound resistance has an essentia capacity. The maximum number of essentia points that can be invested in it equals this value or your normal essentia capacity (see Table 2–1: Essentia Capacity, Magic of Incarnum 19), whichever is lower.
Investing or reallocating essentia in the cloak is a swift action (and can be done as part of the normal swift action used for reallocating essentia).
A cloak of soulbound resistance has a maximum essentia capacity of 2, and the maximum resistance bonus it can grant is +3.
Chakra Bind (Shoulders): A cloak of soulbound resistance improves your resistance bonus by an additional 1 when it is bound to your shoulders chakra, which can exceed the maximum values described above. See Binding Items to Chakras (MoI 108) for more information.
