This came to me in a dream. I'm not too sure about the artifact rating or commitment, but it seems like a good place to start. Comments are welcome!
Balefire Cloak</b>
Artifact <b>•••</b>
Cloak, no MM
Soak: 4L/8B, Mobility -0, Fatigue 0
Commitment: 2

This heavy fur cloak is a useful piece of armor as it is, but its true power is revealed when the wearer activates it. The Chosen must spend 8 motes to activate the Balefire Cloak (this is a Simple action and the motes remain committed until she chooses to end the effect); it transforms her body into a vaguely human-shaped mass of heatless green flame. The Cloak itself is not so transformed, and any other equipment the Chosen is carrying may be kept or sent Elsewhere for the duration of the effect as she sees fit. The supernatural resilience granted by this form allows the wearer to double her Stamina for the purposes of computing soak; this effect is incompatible with any armor besides the Balefire Cloak itself, but is fully compatible with soak-boosting charms. The mass of balefire is also essentially weightless, so the Chosen may move across surfaces such as water that would not normally support her weight, and may pull herself up vertical surfaces with fiery pseudopodia at her normal movement rate. She also takes no damage from falling. The pale green light emitted by the balefire form adds 2 to the difficulty of all Stealth rolls while the Balefire Cloak is activated.
