River Ring

[[Image:River.Ring.jpg|right]]
The River Rings are a pair of masterfully [[Crafts Skill|crafted]] small metal rings weighing 5 grams.   The metal is flawlessly mirrored and consists of two small rings connected by a lattice-work that forms a repeating pattern of Stars of David.  Unlike the picture there is no solid 'back' behind the stars, and the star pattern spans the entire circumference.

The ring is made of pure '''[[Perfected Metals#Thaumium|Thaumium]]''', [[Imbue Item Spell|enchanted]], and virtually indestructible despite it's delicate appearance.
* [[Forge Thaumium]] relinquished ([[Spell Cloaks|Cloak]] Potency 6)
:: Innate [[Counterspell Prime]] ability
:: [[Mana]] Battery 11
:: [[Durability]] 15
* [[Supernal Augmentation]] relinquished  ([[Spell Cloaks|Cloak]] Potency 6)
:: Persistent Option
:: [[Life]] Option (bare hand attacks)
:: [[Matter]] Option (weaponry and archery attacks)


The rings were made by [[Star]] and named for the final card dealt in a poker hand.

===Raw Materials===
Per the spell [[Forge Thaumium]], the materials requirement were three '''[[Perfected Metals]]''': gold (orichalcum), silver (lunargent) and mercury (hermium).   The physical size of the ring was determined to be 5 grams, which would require 50 grams each of the above metals<ref>[[Legacies the Ancient]], p.76</ref>.   
* The cost of the metals were Googled and made with [[Resources]] purchases.
* Passing them into '''Twilight''' repeatedly was accomplished by negotiating favors with the [[Moros]] Councilor, [[Truce]].
