Ring of the Drow (Magic Ring)

This item is made of eight strands of different, unique metals entwined to form a ring. The drow found it troublesome when their magical items deteriorated upon leaving their underground homeland for long periods of time: to combat this, they created this ring. The ring of the drow is only made in the drow homelands by the priests of Lolth. Its purpose is to keep drow-made items in possession of a wearer from deteriorating. To do this, the ring radiates an aura of magical energy that duplicates the radiations deep in the drow homelands. This aura only affects the wearer and the wearer's possessions.
As a side effect of the ring's magical aura, a detect magic spell reveals the wearer to radiate magic strongly. In addition, detect evil shows the wearer of one of these rings as evil, and know alignment indicates that the wearer is chaotic evil, regardless of the wearer's true alignment. If the wearer uses the psionic power of Aura Alteration to try to change the aura, the wearer must save vs. spell or else change alignment to chaotic evil. If the wearer saves, or if the wearer fails to save but is already chaotic evil, the psionic power functions normally, and the ring's aura is temporarily changed.
To possess one of these rings is considered a great honor among the drow, because it signifies that the wearer has traveled far from the homeland, and that he or she was aided by a priestess favored by Lolth. Drow will kill any creature other than a drow who possesses one of these rings.
