This sailcloth cloak’s elaborate embroidery evokes the waves of the sea. Within the pattern of the waves, a repeating swirl of thread matches the symbol writhing within the large, dark crystal shard that forms the clasp at the neck of the cloak. The cloak appears damp, and the lower edge looks as though it has been soaked in water.

Despite its damp appearance, a water cloak always feels completely dry to its wearer, even in pouring rain. This cloak grants you a +5 bonus on Reflex saves against any effect that deals fire damage and allows you to avoid fire damage as if you had evasion. Whenever you make a successful Reflex saving throw against any fire effect that deals half damage on a successful save, you instead take no damage. This is a continuous effect and requires no activation.
In addition, a water cloak offers two other activated abilities.
Extinguish: The cloak extinguishes all nonmagical fires within 30 feet. This ability has no effect on fire creatures. It functions five times per day.
Counterfire: The cloak can counter any spell with the fire descriptor (as if you were casting dispel magic). This ability functions once per day. Attempting to counter a spell that doesn’t have the fire descriptor wastes the effect.

Prerequisites: Bind Elemental (ECS 51) or Craft Wondrous Item, planar binding.
Cost to Create: 6,000 gp, 480 XP, 12 days.
