What else is the mantle used for?

Hmm, it's an intriguing question indeed. You've piqued my curiosity with this mention of the mantle. So, what else could this mantle be used for? It's not just a garment, is it? Perhaps it serves a deeper, more symbolic purpose? Or maybe it holds some hidden powers that we haven't yet discovered? The text certainly doesn't give us much to go on, but surely there's more to it than meets the eye. What do you think? Have you come across any other uses for the mantle in your readings or research? I'd be fascinated to hear your thoughts on this matter.
