Usage[]
The Wither Cloak Sword can be used as a melee weapon.
Right-clicking with it in hand toggles the Creeper Veil ability. Toggling on the ability does not cost ✎ Mana, but has a 10s cooldown between activations; the Ability remains active even when swapping away from the sword. When the ability is active, 6 invisible Charged Creepers surround the player that last for 10s. The player cannot attack using Melee or Magic Weapons when the ability is active; Bows and other abilities will still work. Upon taking damage, it is nullified at the cost of 20% of the user's ✎ Mana. This mana cost is affected by Ultimate Wise. Should the player not have enough mana to absorb another hit, the veil will automatically toggle off.
Lava in Necron's, Storm's, and Goldor's boss rooms will still have its launching effect when its damage is nullified by the veil. If the player switches Armor with the ability active, it will be toggled off. This ability can also be used to survive Storm's Lightning Attack.

Trivia[]
- The ability will persist even when the Sword is removed from the user's inventory.
- If a different weapon with Ultimate Wise is held with the ability active, its mana cost reduction will apply upon taking damage. If the Wither Cloak Sword has the Ultimate Wise ability, it only applies its cost reduction while the Wither Cloak Sword is held.
- During the Trial of Fire, the Creeper Veil ability will trigger as long as the player's maximum ❤ Health is above that of a single fire tick, preventing all damage. If the player has sufficiently high ❤ HP (higher than 35,280) and enough mana to survive the ticks (use a Mana Flux Power Orb or Ultimate Wise as mentioned above), level 30 can be completed.
- It was used in an exploit with a pickaxe to kill Ice Walkers while AFK. However, since the damaging effect of the veil has been removed, this exploit no longer works.
- Sometimes, the charged creepers from the veil will persist if the user leaves the server while the veil is active. These charged creepers can be locked on to by the Flower of Truth, but otherwise have no effect.
- Certain player interactions, such as shooting the veil with Runaan's Bow, can destroy the creepers.
- Previously the Wither Cloak Sword's ability dealt damage (200 per second, depending on combat and Giant Killer level), but this was changed in the 0.11.3 update.
- The Creeper Veil ability is able to nullify the damage from the Yang Glyphs in the Voidgloom Seraph boss fight, making it used to possible to semi-afk these bosses in combination with a Necromancy weapon, as well as prevent failing the quest when the Yang Glyphs were thrown into a wall(this has been patched) or somewhere unknown. The former one has been nerfed to almost impossible since Necromancy mobs now get despawned by Voidgloom Seraph.
- Wither Cloak Sword can bypass the damage from Boomer Undead's TNT and Kalhuiki Tribe Members' fatal attack.
- Wither Cloak Sword's ability will not take away any mana when used with Goblin Armor.
- The Creeper Veil ability cooldown is halved from 10s to 5s if the player deactivates it themselves using Right Click.
