A ring that brings its wearer more in contact with the powers of ice. It grants resistance to cold and enhances ice magic, but causes vulnerability to heat.

A ring of ice is a ring that enhances the power of ice magic spells. Additionally, it provides one level of cold resistance (rC+) and one negative level of fire resistance (rF-).
