Once per day, the attuned wearer can cast an Armor and a Shield spell on himself (i.e., one Armor spell and one Shield spell per day). These function as indicated below
Armor Spell
- Duration: 15 hours
- PROT: 6
- Cumulative with Ring of Protection, Cloak of Protection or Helm of Protection
- Not cumulative with Bracers of Protection or any armor (except Helm of Protection)
For the Shield spell, the wielder can choose either Floating Shield or Deployed Shield and, in either case, must choose the size of the shield
Floating Shield
- The shield manifests and then floats in front of the user for the duration of the spell. It will automatically get in the way of ranged attacks, providing the indicated bonus to the user's defense. This is not cumulative with any other shield or shield spell. The user decides what size shield he wants and uses the modifiers below. Larger shields tend to hamper perception rolls. The shield also provides a bonus to saving throws vs elemental attacks
- Duration: 15 minutes
Deployed Shield
- The shield manifests in the user's offhand and is used as a normal shield except that it provides the defense below instead of that provided by the user's normal shield skill. Exception: If the wielder would get a higher DEF by using their normal shield skill, they use that instead of the bonus below.
- Duration: 1 hour

If the wielder of this ring knows the Armor or Shield spell, then they can cast the spells out of this ring more often and can also use them on others. For every 5 ranks of the spell they know, then can cast the spells out of this ring 1 additional time. For example, if the wielder knows the Shield spell at rank 5 and the Armor spell at rank 4, they can cast the Shield spell out of this ring twice per day instead of once per day and can cast it on another target (range touch). When they raise Armor spell from rank 4 to 5, they can do the same with the Armor spell in this ring. |
