Thanks for the answers.

I would rule that the Acid has to deal a certain amount of damage before it registers on the cloak, kind of like hardness of walls.

I think mending would fix the cloak, but would definitely not re-enchant it. It would just come back as a normal cloak.

So say someone snuck in with an alchemy jug and used 8oz of acid on a magical cloak while they were sleeping (dont ask why they wouldnt use it on the sleeping person instead). How long would you personally say it would take to burn it enough to "disenchant" it?

I believe the DOG has a guide for hp for various sizes of objects. I would rule a cloak as a medium object, and give the magic a hardness (don't have my DMG with me, so cannot say how much. Maybe 10?). So, the Acid would have to deal more than 10 damage, and at least half the cloak's given HP amount to disenchantment it. That is just spit balling numbers though, you can attach whatever hp or hardness you choose. On the other hand, you could give the Enchantment a separate HP from the cloak, and have it act as a kind of Temp hp that protects the cloak until the enchantment has been burned off.

For time, I wouldn't say more than 10 seconds, assuming the Acid is actually strong enough to pierce the enchantment. However, if you go the second route I have above, they would need more than 8 oz. (I think) to be able to beat the enchantment.

What kind of magic cloak are we talking here? Rare and powerful cloaks would have a greater damage threshold, and some would be immune to certain damage types.
