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

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

Tips & Tricks

  • A ring of fire can serve as a poor man's ring of protection from fire in a pinch, particularly if you should encounter a Volcano mini branch.
  • You don't want to be vulnerable to any element for too long, since you (the player) can always forget about it. Even if you use Fire Magic, you'll want a source of cold resistance to counteract the vulnerability.
If you don't have a way to negate rC-, Fire specialists can still find this ring useful - just remember to remove it against icy enemies.

History

  • Prior to 0.19, rings of fire provided a negative Ice Magic enhancer.
