Lore Ring (Magic Ring)

This ring looks much the same us any ring, but when worn it can be commanded to exercise various powers if the correct command words are known. The ring can act as a legend lore spell through mental visions to its wearer. This power can be called once per week, and the visions require the wearer's total concentration over a period of four turns after commanding the ring. If concentration is not maintained, all visions are lost. The ring must be touched to an item, or a name of a person or place must be spoken over it as the command is given: otherwise, the visions are random, having no common focus or theme.
The ring also performs stone tell once per week, upon being touched to stone while the command “Speak!” is uttered.
Upon the command “Shine forth!” the ring causes any symbols, hidden runes, or powerful dweomers within 10' to glow visibly. This power works once a day.
The lore ring can also endow the wearer with a power identical in effect to psionic Sensitivity to Psychic Impressions once a week. This power is not infallible: there is only a 40% chance it will be effective. Even if the attempt fails, the ring cannot operate this way again for a week. The psychic power is activated silently, by will, and it requires the wearer's complete concentration to work.
All of the ring's powers have durations identical to the spells or effects they resemble. Any and all of them may be used in quick succession (but not simultaneously): the use of one has no effect on the others. Every time the ring is used, there is a 5% chance it will vanish forever from the wearer's finger without operating as desired.
