Akkabar ' s battleblade ring Akkabar ' s battleblade ring was the first of the " Qysari Rings " and could form a " blade barrier " when a command word was spoken . Description . Like other " shoonring " s , this ring was made from strands of metal woven like twisted vines , but each vine was made of swords touching point to pommel . The direction of the pointing swords turned at right angles if a cleric , druid , or other priest donned the ring . Warrior s and rogue s saw the raised pattern of swords become smooth to the touch . Wizard s saw no change in the design when placed on their finger . Copies of this ring were known to exist , but they did not exhibit this morphing feature when donned by someone other than a practitioner of the Art . Powers . Once a day the ring could be commanded to produce a " blade barrier " in the direction indicated by the wearer . The swords on the ring unraveled from the wearer ' s hand and became whirling daggers of force that slashed anything that tried to penetrate the sharp curtain . When the spell ended , either by reaching the end of its duration or by being recalled by the wearer , the sword reformed back into a ring at the center of the barrier and returned to the wearer ' s hand a few seconds later . If the wearer was dead , too far away ( 60 feet or 18 meters ) , or was blocked by obstacles such that no shorter path existed , the ring dropped from where it hovered . History .
