Creeper Veil
Creeper Veil is the Wither Cloak Sword's active ability. Right-clicking with the sword in the player's hand toggles the ability. The ability can be turned on with zero, despite this item having a cost. While the ability is enabled, the player is unable to melee attack. If a player changes their held item, the ability will persist. Bows will still shoot, and spells can still be cast while Creeper Veil is active. The ability will persist even if the sword leaves the player's inventory.

Toggling the ability on will summon 6 Lightning-charged invisible Creepers around the player. Enemies standing within a small range of the creepers will take a tick of damage every second. Some interactions with other players can kill the creepers from this effect; this is purely a visual bug, and the damage continues to tick regardless.

When the player is hit by an enemy for any amount of damage, the ability will drain of a player's maximum. If the player doesn't have enough for the damage reduction, the ability will automatically toggle off.

The damage on the ability is. It is affected by Giant Killer when a sword with it is held, and the Warrior perk of the skill.
