In addition, the cloak grants her immunity toentrapment by web spells or webs of any sort—she canactually move in webs at half her normal speed.Once per day, the wearer of this cloak can cast web.

Cast web1/day to cast web 1/dawn is still an improvement because combat is now designed to ensure strategic use of crowd control is a relatively unimportant factor on the adventuring day  combined with the ease of having the perfect number of web spells with the shift from vancian slot by slot prep to flexible spontaneous/neovancian ensuring that it will never be needed as a flexibility expansion or backup ace in the back pocket</blockquote>
