This mithral chain shirt is believed to have been enchanted by an inexperienced crafter who acquired unnatural means to increase their abilities. It offers effective protection without impeding most activities and possesses some powers. These powers include the ability to generate illusionary flames that silhouette subjects, making their visible presence clearer, and controlling flames the size of a small camp-fire or smaller by adjusting their size, sustaining them, or even moving them. However, these powers are under the control of the armour's intelligence. This intelligence somehow identified itself as male and has spent its existence methodically seeking to "get into people's pants". Deemed an undesirable quality in an item of clothing, this armour has been passed down through many, many, many owners, and has seen little use...
