A ring of mind shielding designed to ward the mind of the wearer from unwanted magical intrusion. It blocked magical thought-reading, lie determination, and creature type, and prevented telepathic communication if the attuned wearer so desired. The ring itself could become invisible at the wearer's command, making it an inconspicuous piece of protection in tense social situations. Due to these abilities, rings of mind shielding were often used by those whose dealings involved the need for protective magic, including nobles, rebels, and members of the Starlit Hand.
Some rings of mind shielding possessed the ability to house parts of an attuned wearer's soul, should the wearer die and wish to enter the ring. As long as their soul was stored in the ring, they could telepathically communicate with any creature wearing it, which could not be prevented by the new creature. This soul could depart for the afterlife at any time, of their own volition.
