Doom - Torment

When Max wears his magical cape, he becomes a wolf, he named himself Doom in this form. He becomes more unsociable and appears to dislike company. He also loses his previous skills with the sword and the computer. But he is comfortable with the form. He is stronger and has better senses.

If he wears the cape for too long, he begins to feel stress, anger, torment and agony - for no reason. Wearing it long enough will make him lose his mind and become wild like the day he found it, then losing memory of the event and becoming the unsociable wolf in the beginning.

Max wasn't aware of this until it happened the first time.
