The Cloak of Plenty is also denser than it appears at first glance and as much as an elbow length deep. As such it can be used as a bulwark of sorts against physical blows and slashes. Blows will sink into the cloak and slow as if they were under said liquid. While the cloak gives some utility in defense, it is limited as swords stabs and arrows could still pass through the cloak. Still it is possible to use the cloak to wrap someone's head in it and drown them.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/11/03/5-34/ Chapter 5.34] & [https://wanderinginn.com/2018/11/06/5-35-h/ 5.35 H]</ref>

The Cloak of Plenty's true value lies in how much liquid the cloak holds, as it can serve as a portable supply like a water source or a well of blood to be used in blood magic for a [Bloodmage].

Once it runs out of magic, it is theorized that the cloak would probably revert back to a dormant state while it recharged for a day or so.<ref name=":5.35 H" />
