A suit of shiftweave clothing is a magical outfit that can transform into a number of different outfits. [1] [3]

Creation

During its making, transmutation magic is woven into the threads of the cloth via the alter self , allowing up to five outfits of different designs and appearances to be "embedded" within it. These are set on creation, and new ones cannot be incorporated later. [1] Shiftweave can also be made using psionics . [2]

Description

Shiftweave clothing resembles normal clothes of any kind, but actually contains up to five different-looking outfits. A suit weighs 5 pounds (2.3 kilograms). [1] [3]

Powers

At a user's command , the shiftweave clothing can transform between the outfits it contains. However, shiftweave doesn't have the ability to conceal armor or other magical items of clothing. [1] [3] It can mimic, but not replicate, other kinds of magical clothing. [3] However, it can include darkweave . [1]

Reputation

Shiftweave is popular with the upper classes, who wear it to avoid being caught wearing the same clothes as someone else at a gala. However, depending on what outfits it includes, it can aid anyone in adapting to different social situations, and can make for a quick and useful disguise. Thus, it is also a popular tool of assassins and spies. [1] The changeling masquers of the Thousand Eyes , the secret police of Riedra , commonly wear psionic shiftweave . [2]
