Kell's coat

Kell's coat is a magical object which possesses not only two sides but various. It is currently unknown how many sides it exactly possesses.
==Overview==
The coat possesses multiple sides which can be accessed by turning it in and out. This process has to be repeated until the desired side is found. Pocket contents stay in the side in which they have been originally placed; and the coat's fitting automatically adapts itself to the wearer.
The coat seems to have some degree of sentience, a characteristic Maris Patrol attributes to fraying spellwork. The coat cannot move on its own, but can decide who it likes and who can search it. For example, it likes Kell Maresh, its current owner, and allows him to search it. However, the coat does not allow to be searched by Kell's brother Rhy.
==History==
The coat used to belong to Maris Patrol, the Captain of the Ferase Stras, before she lost it.
It eventually came into Aldus Fletcher's possession who bet it in a game of Sanct against Kell Maresh several years ago. Kell won the game and the coat alongside various other magical trinkets.

* The coat is a nod to the Room of Requirement from Harry Potter"More than any other detail in the series, readers ask me about the inspiration for Kell's coat. The truth? It's my nod to Harry Potter--specifically the Room of Requirement.""[The coat]'s a nod to the Room of Requirement in Harry Potter.""FUN FACT: Kell's peculiar many-sides coat is a nod to the Room of Requirement in Harry Potter. Look close and you'll notice new sides always show up BEFORE he needs them." and the Magic Carpet from Aladdin. V. E. Schwab also considers the coat a character.Kell's coat — V. E.
