Desirability

The ring of the Mage is an excellent ring for most casters, greatly increasing the wearer's spell success rate while providing a modest boost to spell power and a hefty dose of magic resistance. Admittedly, a character who already has its spell success rates reliably low may prefer to wear a simple ring of intelligence with a higher enchantment level, but most characters would appreciate suddenly gaining access to higher level spells or heavier body armour. Even purely physical characters should consider keeping this ring around, as it provides more MR than a mundane ring of magic resistance would.
