A robe of retaliation allows you to react to attacks with a burst of magical power. If you are struck by a creature wielding a melee weapon or a natural weapon, you can activate the robe and sacrifice an arcane spell of 1st level or higher to deal damage to your attacker equal to 1d6 points per level of the spell sacrificed. This ability functions three times per day.
