Ring of the Pig

Name:
Ring of the Pig

Rank:
Event Item

Type:
Ring

Description & Appearance:
This item is a rather odd one, an old, silver ring in the shape of a piglet that curls around the finger, clinging to the one who holds it in a pose that almost seems affectionate. Indeed, it is said that pigs are intelligent creatures, and that is no coincidence. Those born under the sign of the pig are blessed by the gods, or so it is rumoured at least, and this ring reflects that blessing, granting the one who holds it a fabled sturdiness that seeks it parallel. Whether the bearer is indeed blessed or not, who can truly know, after all, the powerful effects that the ring of the pig grants are very real.

Spoiler:

Abilities:

Divine Protection: The bearer of this ring is indeed not ignored by the gods, the ancient item imbued with the good will and blessing of a multitude of divines, generously gracing the holder with protection that is unrivalled. This grants the bearer 25% of both magical and physical damage reduction. The difference to normal increases of similar nature, however, is that this ability, when combined with other sources of damage reduction, can push the bearer of the ring up to a total of 75% for both magical and physical damage reduction respectively.

Unparalleled Defense: The ring's enchantment possesses qualities that other mages can only dream of achieving. Over the years, many have tried to create the perfect defense, one that will protect even under stress without losing its ability to guard against incoming attacks or surrender any of its flexibility, all failing in the end through some means or the other. The ring, however, through mysterious ways, whether it be strong magic or a blessing of the gods themselves, grants the user an ability that enables them to wield a nigh perfect defense. This ability affects the bearer's shield spells, passively granting them a status effect that makes these shield spells completely immune to any sort of piercing effect. The owner's defensive spells cannot be pierced or otherwise circumvented by any means or under any circumstances and instantly negate any and all piercing effects that touch them. Shield spells still take spell damage normally and still abide by durabilities.

Perfect Shielding: The last ability the ring grants its owner is a rather odd one as well, said to be the physical manifestation of the will of gods themselves and their determination to keep the bearer alive. Once per thread and for the duration of one post, the user can manifest a shield that takes the form of a light pink bubble with a radius of 5 meters around themselves. While perhaps not visually impressive, the durability of this shield is extreme, so extreme, in fact, that it can absorb any and all damage, no matter how extensive or brutal it is, protecting the user at all costs. Still, however, there is a drawback associated with the durability of this shield, being the sensitive instability of the barrier and the rings still limited power. Once the barrier has taken a single attack and absorbed the damage, regardless of how high it was, it will vanish, leaving the user to their own devices once more.

Abilities:

Divine Protection: The bearer of this ring is indeed not ignored by the gods, the ancient item imbued with the goodwill and blessing of a multitude of divines, generously gracing the holder with protection that is unrivaled. This grants the bearer a passive 75% buff to their Damage Reduction.

Unparalleled Defense: The ring's enchantment possesses qualities that other mages can only dream of achieving. Over the years, many have tried to create the perfect defense, one that will protect even under stress without losing its ability to guard against incoming attacks or surrender any of its flexibility, all failing in the end through some means or the other. The ring, however, through mysterious ways, whether it be strong magic or a blessing of the gods themselves, grants the user an ability that enables them to wield a nigh perfect defense. This ability affects the bearer's Defensive Category spells, automatically granting them the Anti-Piercing effect in disregard of the effect slots utilized in their creation, making these shield spells completely immune to piercing effects. Defensive Category spells still take spell damage normally and still abide by durabilities. All other relevant rules regarding Defensive Category spells still apply.

Description: The last ability the ring grants its owner is a rather odd one as well, said to be the physical manifestation of the will of gods themselves and their determination to keep the bearer alive. Once per thread and for the duration of one post, the user can instantly manifest a shield that takes the form of a light pink bubble with a radius of 5 meters around themselves. While perhaps not visually impressive, the durability of this shield is extreme, so extreme, in fact, that it can absorb any and all attacks, no matter how extensive or brutal they are, protecting the user and everything inside the bubble at all costs. This shield cannot be pierced by any kind of spell or ability, under any circumstance, no matter what the spell or ability in question might say. It is simply not possible. Still, however, there is a drawback associated with the durability of this shield, being the sensitive instability of the barrier and the ring's still limited power. Once the barrier has taken a single spell, ability, melee attack, etc. and absorbed it, regardless of how high its damage was or if it did damage at all, it will vanish, leaving the user to their own devices once more.
