Cloak of Night OP?

from Demigod Forums

Cloak of Night is the General item instant warp that delivers 300 damage to all enemies near target.  I like it a bunch, but it might be slightly OP through level 10 or so, being as it is an instant AoE damage spell you can't run away from.  It's the perfect finisher.  Alot of times you see people completely confused as to how they died because it happens so quickly...

One favorite is 2 QoTs with this item.  Two Groundspikes and two cloakwarps will kill most anyone in the area...

Should this be tweaked?  If so, how can we tweak it while preserving the flavor and power of the item?

Isnt cloak of night the Artificat item costing 20k? Or is it the Favour item?

It's the favor item, so it's available at level 1 for Generals who have won a couple of games.  The artifacts are Cloak of Flame and Cloak of Elvenkind, I think

Increase the cooldown time, but only until the demigod reaches level 10, and then put it back to how it is? Or just increase it's casting time so at least it'll be harder to use it on a target that is already moving.

I would suggest reading the current thread about scaling favour items with demigod levels in each game; this addition could certainly make this particular item more viable, as it could start off with low damage AoE (or none at all, just a warp effect) and as you level up become increasingly powerful.
