Ring of the Eagle (Magic Ring)

This ring allows the wearer, at will, to shape change into a giant eagle for an unlimited period of time. All of the wearer's clothing and personal possessions carried (except for live beings) are merged with the giant eagle form and are unusable while the ring wearer is in that form. The user may fly for up to 12 hours non-stop, but suffers from exhaustion effects after that, losing 1 hit point per turn until stopping to rest for 3–6 hours.
In eagle form, the user of the ring retains his or her normal hit points, Intelligence and Wisdom scores, and psionic abilities (if any). Spells cannot be cast (although the memory of spells already learned or prayed for is not affected), nor can weapons be wielded, other than the eagle's claw and beak attack. The user has all the physical and combat abilities of a giant eagle, including superb vision (same effect as wearing eyes of the eagle). The eagle's Armor Class cannot be improved by any magical device: a ring of protection slipped on a claw, for example, has no effect. If the user of the ring drops to less than half of his or her full, normal hit points, any attempt to shapechange using the power of the ring fails until the user recovers enough hit points to bring the total back above the half normal amount. This applies whether the user is in eagle form or in normal form. If the user stays in eagle form for longer than 24 hours at one time, there is a cumulative 1% chance per day thereafter, for as long as the eagle form is maintained without interruption, that the ring's powers will fail, rendering the ring powerless, and causing the wearer to remain in eagle form permanently unless a wish is used to restore the wearer.
