Bone Ring: This plain finger ring is always carved from human bone. Nebt Bhakau's Book of Shadows hints at a secret method for enchanting these rings, but only the clerical tome On Coming Forth by Day contains the full details of their construction. A bone ring wards the wearer from all energy- or Strength-draining attacks from all sources (such as undead and hostile spells). Each ring has 1-100 charges. Each attempted drain that the ring absorbs will drain one charge until it finally disintegrates into fine, dry powder. Unless magical divination (such as identify) is employed, the wearer will not be aware of how many charges are remaining.

A few, special bone rings (5%) are rumored to protect the wearer by absorbing wizard spells of black necromancy (see Chapter Four), in addition to warding against spells and undead attacks that drain Strength or life energy. Both versions cannot be recharged. (3,500 XP for lesser; 5,000 XP for greater ring.)
