A bone ring was a magic ring that protected the wearer's life-force and physical strength from magical and nectromantic effects that would drain them.[3]
Description[]
Despite its name, it could be made from bone, stone, or ivory, but would never be made from any metals.[2] It was worth between 20,000[1] and 36,000 gold pieces.[2]
Powers[]
The ring would protect its wearer from being drained of life energy and health, such as an attack by a vampire. However, each time it protected the wearer, a charge was used up, and when all charges were gone, it crumbled to dust.[2] It was rumored that one-in-twenty such rings could also absorb the arcane spells of necromancers.[3]
Creation[]
Creation of a bone ring required the spell negative energy protection.[2] While hints of its creation could be found in Nebt Bhakau's Book of Shadows, the only known complete instructions lay in a treatise on necromantic divine magic known as On Coming Forth by Day.[3]
