Hurricaer's Ring of Life

Description:

"...
among the children of the light
be ware
of the ones with bright eyes

they are the bringers of fire,
the tillers of soil,
the husbanders of animals
the crafters of magic
the masters of arcane

be ware! be ware!
drink not their blood, for they will ensnare you.
learn and watch
watch and learn
from them

Trust not
the ones with bright eyes
towards the dawn:
Remember always.
it is the dawning that
brings your death.
"
------------------------------------------- the Chronicle of Shadows

"Vamperic mage was truely a foul thing. If there was anything in the world of Faerun matched a vampiric mage, if not based on power but the evilness itself, there was only the vamperic mage himself."

------------------------------------------- Magius Magistrate

This ring was enchanted during Hurricaer's early days when he was still a pupil at the area of arcane necrometic magic. Though as young as he was, this ring was already an incredible evil artifact that enlengthed his graspe to unfold the dark knowledge.

One day, it was past DeepWatch, Erstale walked into Hurricaer's room, and he saw the weary boy slept on his desk. Wanting to help him to his bed, Erstale walked up to him silently. It was an accident that the book Hurricaer was reading fell to the ground, then Erstale picked it up and glanced it quickly out of curiousity. To his striking horror, the book was a dark lore, a book of curse, immortality and blood sacrificing. (hmmm, sounds like american teenagers, violent TV shows and such....anyway)

The incident angered Erstale. The old man hated evil magic and everything connected to it. He commanded Hurricaer to give up his dark proficient, no matter how much he angered, the stubborn Hurricaer did not back down. He had always been a stubborn one! Hurt and disappointed, Erstale banished Hurricaer from his house, and never wanted to see him again.

Houseless, Hurricaer lived on streets once more, but not for long. The Shadow Thieves were the ruling guild of Amn, though Hurricaer had no love with thieves, he knew better than to cross them. Even sweeter, his talents served him a great deal to gain acceptence, if not trust among the guild. Now Hurricaer were free to practice his arts, sometimes, he would stay in his room for days researching and studying, and sometimes, he would gone to graveyard secretly during the darkest night.

He met a merchant from eastern country Kozakura of Kara-tur, and bought a rare bloody red gem named Tsue-hunshi. Using the gem, he enchanted a ring that he desired for a long time. After the completion of the ring, he was ready to act out his plan.

Hurricaer, twisted by hatred and hellish greed, disgused himself as his mentor, Erstale Villitus. Then he went to the local government, and revealed many secret plans of Shadow Thieves. Though the cunning Shadow Thieves didn't suffer the consequence, they were angered and they plotted a vengence on the real Erstale, who was still unaware of the treachery. Hurricaer, unusually excited, volunteered to execute the plan.

Erstale was caught off-gaurd. He never thought shadow thief would have anything to do with him in his life! Even worse, he could not believe Hurricaer, whom he treated like his son, was the one in charge of the assasination. The murder stabbed a dagger in the old man's chest, and his lifeblood ran down his robe like a red stream of river. Breathless, the old man tried to question Hurricaer and he saw Hurricaer, his son, walked towards him with a mad, devilish twisted smile on his face. Bend down, Hurricaer slowly hold up a ring towards the dying man. Whispering a secret magical command, the ring began to glow, the entrancing light seemed to have its own life. The red light danced and danced, as if they were the spilling blood of Erstale himself's, and the world around Erstale began to fade...

Stats:
Type: ring
Special:
Life Drain three charges:

If the creature is unconcious and close to death(knocked out by fist, or by other means), the wielder can perform a level drain on the creature. The target is NOT able to avoid the effect due to the stats of his health.

The result has the following effect:

If the target is the same proficient as the wielder of the ring, the wielder will instancely gain 30% knowledge of the target. (30% spell levels, weapon skills as well as target's 30% experiences)

The wielder instancely know everything the target knew.

If the target is of different proficent as the wielder, the target will only lose 30% of his experiences.

Note: different magic schools will still be restricted. (like a necromecor cannot drain illusion spells) also, after the drain, the target is dead, and cannot be ressurrected. The drained experience is PERMENANTLY added to the wielder

Usable by:
Evil characters only
Mages, or cleric

(Chronicle of Shadow's copy right belongs to Book of Nod)
