Annulus Qysarus Minor Annulus Qysarus Minor was one of the twelve " Qysari Rings " made for the rulers of the Shoon Imperium . It had the power to store a small number of spells and allow the wearer to cast them as desired . When worn with the " Annulus Qysarus Major " ring , it allowed the wearer to sacrifice some health to achieve greater effectiveness when casting a stored spell . Description . Magic rings made during the sixth age of Calimshan ( 27 – 450 DR ) , were constructed of twisted bands of two different metals and were known as " shoonring s " . What easily distinguished the " Qysari Rings " from ordinary " shoonrings " was that they changed form depending on the nature of the person wearing them . When placed on the finger of a cleric , druid , or other priest , the direction of the metal weave turned at right angles to the circumference of the ring . If donned by warrior s or rogue s , the raised pattern became smooth to the touch but still visible . Wizard s saw no change in the design when it was placed on their finger . Powers . This ring functioned as a " ring of spell storing " that allowed no more than five spells to be cast into it , where they remained until called forth by the wearer . When placed on a finger , the ring imparted the names of the spells into the mind of the wearer . Even individuals with no spellcasting ability could use this ring to cast the arcane or divine spells stored within . When worn along with the " Annulus Qysarus Major " , the spells stored in this ring could be enhanced by sacrificing some of the wearer ' s health at the time of casting . A separate sacrifice was required for each enhanced spell cast .
