“Attuning” is a process that takes about 30 min to an hour and can typically be performed during brief downtime periods called “short rests.” It involves meditating with it, studying it, practicing maneuvers, etc.. At the end of the period, the item is soul-bonded to your character unless something happens to disrupt that bond, or if you try to attune more than three such items.
Because of the nature of the play by post format, I divide game phases between “Action Phase” and “Sacred Phase,” where downtime activities can be completed during the sacred phase.
You’re still in Sacred Phase, so we’ll say your cloak is attuned.
