Distinguished Cape
Ancient
On pickup the Cape lowers your Max HP by 9 and adds three Apparition cards to your deck. Each Apparition costs 1, is Ethereal and Exhausts, and gives 1 Intangible, which reduces all damage and HP loss you take that turn to 1. Upgrading one removes Ethereal. It is a Vakuu relic and cannot be traded.
