Ring of the Hierophant (Magic Ring)

There are only four of these powerful rings known to exist, one of each type. Their creation requires the efforts of a hierophant druid capable of entering the elemental plane that corresponds to the powers of the ring. Each of these rings enables a druid to speak and understand the language of the corresponding elemental plane, and once a week the wearer may polymorph into the form of an elemental of the associated type. In elemental form, the druid retains normal hit points, but in all other senses is a 12HD elemental. The transformation otherwise functions as the druid's 7th-level shapechange ability, including the healing of lost hit points. The transformation lasts for a maximum of six turns and can be reversed at any time. The druid radiates strong alteration magic while in elemental form.
Finally, each of these rings gives the wearer the power to cast a certain spell once per day. The ring of the earth hierophant enables the wearer to cast stone shape at 17th level: the ring of the fire hierophant enables the wearer to cast flame walk at 18th level: the ring of the water hierophant enables the wearer to cast water walk at 19th level: and the ring of the air hierophant enables the wearer to cast air walk at 20th level.
