Ring of Familiar and kinds of rings
« on: February 07, 2010, 03:41:56 am »
Settings question: why does Levrus need the ring used as a base for the Ring of Familiar to be made of gold?  Why couldn't he perform that incantation with whatever ring you might have on hand?

Maybe gold has the correct magical conductive property(s) needed for the spell?  IE: what the ring is made of often affects the spell's effects ..... I think.

Isn't it hard for a ...diaboli haint it?.. to wear a gold ring, or any metal? So can diaboli ride drifters?
Just wondering...

The good old alchemists thought of gold to be a truly magical substance because gold is one of very few things that resist the entropic laws of decay. You gotta admit, that is impressive!  :woot:

Diaboli afaik have no problem with wearing metals. Ynnwn on the other hand do have issues with some metals.

becuase you can't magic iron.

and besides, the only answer that may really matter, a wizard is doing it.
may laanx frighten the shadow from my path.
hardly because the shadow built the lexx.
the shadow will frighten laanx from my path.

Ynnwn. And yeah, but that's what gloves are for.

Though, that does bring up the question of whether you have to be touching the ring with your skin to use it - I suppose one could wear it on a chain like a certain hobbit did...

It could also be magically worked so that the problems it causes with Ynnwn are magically disabled/negated.

Roled has two rings of the familiar- one from before, attached to his little critter yulber and the second since the upgrade. How can i 1) tell which one is enchanted to summon the new drifter  and 2) how do i dismiss the yulber and call the mount? I did seach help and her but havent found updated commands yet. Thanks!
