Description

This version of the Elemental Command rings is made of a simple glowing orange metal that burns any who touch it. Once it is donned, however, the metal cools to reveal a tempered black steel with intricate carvings of licking flames. These runes glow with fiery power whenever a power of the ring is activated.

Lore

The Rings of Elemental Command are powerful devices constructed by only the most skilled of spellcasters, designed to attune to one particular elemental plane upon creation. Henceforth, the ring will grant mastery over denizens of that plane, as well as grant the wearer fantastic elemental powers and protections against Elementals.

The rings must be created by a group of exactly four master spellcasters, two divine and two eldritch, with an elemental of the type of ring they wish to create already present to be consumed by the ring. This Process has been attempted only a handful of times throughout history, as getting the individuals required to create such a ring into one location is extremely difficult, not to mention getting them to agree to work together. After that comes the question of who gets to keep the ring, the subsequent argument afterwords almost always dissolving the partnership immediately. Because of this, there are only 7 known rings of Elemental Command currently on the material plane , and all of them are in the possession of extremely powerful figures, most likely the sole survivors of the original group that created the device.

Each ring appears to be a ring of lesser magical power until its true nature is discovered, and a specific task (decided by the GM) is performed to unlock its sealed power. If a creature attempts to identify the ring, they become aware of its nature as a Ring of Elemental Command, but still must perform the task to bring forth its latent abilities.
