This red-hued cloak is made from the scales of a reptilian creature and feels warm to the touch. When donned, it erupts in flame, which dances continuously over its surface.

A cloak of the salamander deals fire damage to those who strike you in melee with natural weapons or nonreach manufactured weapons. The flames that cover it do not harm you or creatures or objects that you touch.
When you activate a cloak of the salamander, any creatures that strike you with such weapons take 1d6+7 points of fire damage.
This effect lasts until the beginning of your next turn. This ability functions three times per day.

Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, fire shield.
