Ring of Reversion (Magic Ring)

This ring appears to be a simple iron band bearing a blood-red garnet and inscribed with ancient runes. The ring enables the wearer to restore a dispossessed soul to its original body, simultaneously restoring the original soul of the creature to its original body. It can also cause a shapechanger or polymorphed creature to revert to original form.
This ring can only be used by a priest. The priest must strike one of the bodies of the possessed with it (Strength bonuses do not apply). The distance between the body touched and the body of the other transpossessed creature must be less than 50 miles.
The condition of both bodies during this process is of utmost importance. If the body of either creature has been damaged, then it remains damaged and the soul being restored to that body must still deal with its physical impairment. If either of the bodies has been slain, the soul within that body has been released and cannot be called back through use of this ring. Attempting to restore a soul to a dead body simply results in the second soul also being released and beyond recall other than by resurrection or raise dead. There is no saving throw from this device: it always works, and has unlimited charges.
This is certainly not to say that there isn't a certain amount of danger in using this device. First of all, while the device is being worn, it projects an aura of good, alerting any creature within 300' who has been transpossessed. This requires all random encounter checks to be made at twice the normal rate for the turn in which it is worn.
Different creatures will react differently to the presence of this device. The converted, evil spirited creatures will make every effort to either destroy the one who bears the device or to flee from it. In any event, there is a 40% chance that the creatures know the location of the PC using the ring. This allows the creatures to make a special attack. The converted will do all they can to stay away from the reach of one who bears this ring.
The transpossessed townspeople's spirits are a different matter. They now inhabit the essence of terrible creatures, many with horrible powers. They, too, will feel the presence of this ring when it is in use and will charge toward it desperate with hope. These creatures are dangerous in that they may often damage the party with their uncontrolled abilities before they can be helped. This device cannot be used to transpossess souls, only to restore souls that have been previously transpossessed.
