This could involve spying on anyone who knows the word, or filching from any permitted teacher or even upper student.Then they have to get into the correct room. This might involve avoiding a capture trap, such as a pit (with some kind of net or featherfall effect to avoid injury). Again, a password might help them avoid it - or simply watching someone walk down the hall in an odd way.Then a riddle or puzzle trap on the door of the chamber where the cloak is hidden could be fun - the answer could relate to either the teacher's school or to the cloak's powers. Finally, a trap on the chest that "marks" the thief would be a good last protection. Putting a wizard-mark on any unauthorized opener of the chest would be a fun thing - perhaps the mark causes any bearer to set off alarms all over campus as they leave buildings or descend stairs, etc...</blockquote>
