Name Ring of wizardry
Icon Ring of wizardry.png
A ring that increases the ability of its wearer to use magical spells.

Wearing a ring of wizardry improves your spell success rate significantly. This stacks with other sources of wizardry, but with rapidly diminishing returns. It has no impact on spell hunger or spell power.

Desirability

Because spell power eventually winds up mattering much more than spell success rate, rings of wizardry are usually less desirable than rings which improve the power behind your spells, such as rings of fire, ice, or intelligence. However, if you intend to cast spells with low intelligence, heavy armour, or simply beyond the limits of your current skills, a ring of wizardry can be extremely helpful.

History

  • Prior to 0.14, a staff of wizardry provided a slightly better bonus to wizardry than the ring.
  • Prior to 0.8, this ring would not auto-identify.
