OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
  • Intent: Create more Mystical Artifacts for use by the Solanaceae and allies - One of many 'Soul Stone' line of Rings
  • Image Source: Etsy
  • Canon Link: N/A
  • Permissions: N/A
  • Primary Source: Soul Stone: Ring of Self
PRODUCTION INFORMATION
SPECIAL FEATURES
  • Cloak of Darkness: The weakest power conjurable through this ring is the ability to endure the harsh rays of sunlight.
  • Globe of Darkness: Those stronger in the Dark Side of the Force or in dark magicks can conjure a sphere with a radius of 5 meters of complete darkness.
  • Child of Darkness Bolstering a skilled practitioner it may even be possible to become one with the darkness and Shadow Step.
  • I Have Special Eyes: Those in need of this ring come in many shapes and sizes. The Solanaceae imbued the ring with the ability to mold itself to the digit of its wearer to ensure it doesn't slip off walking down the street, or is too small to get around the first joint.
  • The Spirits Know+: Actively gifted by Masters within the Solanaceae, the ring can be worn even by those without Force Sensitivity and receive its blessing. However, the spirits will not linger indefinitely as they would with a Witch. Such 'lending' is almost exclusively for a single mission with the rings recovered afterward; else the spirits will simply abandon the 'offending' ring and the wearer merely has a pretty (if perhaps valuable) ring.

    Alternatively, the ring can be given to another by a Witch infusing it with a drop of that person's blood. The spirits will recognize the person whose blood was spilt over the ring indefinitely; however, such a ring can no longer be loaned to another as described above (it will confer no benefit).
STRENGTHS
  • Fight The Sun Power: If nothing else, you can at least go outside knowing that nasty Sunlight won't touch your beautiful skin. The wearer can run their ring around the circumference of the ring to dial up and down the shade effect on their eyes as well.
  • I Was Born In Darkness: With at least some talent in the dark arts, the wearer should be able to conjure a globe of darkness. This globe not only lacks the visual spectrum, but almost all wavelengths.
  • I Am The Night: Those skilled in dark arts can become one with the darkness and enter deep shadows in one place only to emerge from shadow in another.
  • Authorized Use Only+: The Spirits know who follows the Solanaceae or whose blood was spilled upon the ring by the Solanaceae, and any that don't won't receive their blessing.
  • Accessorize: Rings can be worn and used along side other talisman including pendants or necklaces, bracelets, crowns, and so on.
WEAKNESSES
  • Take Your Vitamins: The invisible blanket of darkness protecting you from the evil sun does not have an off-switch. This is the Ring of Darkness, not the Ring of Lightbulbs. Take your Vitamin D supplements. Or take it off and go outside once and a while.
  • Don't Wear Sunglasses Indoors: Since the shade-effect on the eyes can be dialed up and down, it is possible if the effect was at one extreme or another, and then conditions suddenly changed that the wearer might suffer an extremely painful or debilitating effect. For example, full-shade followed by the intense light going out might leave the wearer temporarily blind until they dial down the effect.
  • Be Careful Where You Point That Thing: Users would be wise to learn the art of fighting blind if they plan to be inside the global when conjured. The effect does not distinguish between friend and foe.
  • The Night, Not Overcast: When using Shadow Step, the shadows do need to be large enough for the wearer to enter or exit, and dark enough that you would be at least reasonably unnoticed at a glance.
  • Rule of Boon's Strength: Wearing more than one artifact that confers a particular benefit does not bolster the strength or power of that benefit; the strongest of those present is the effective strength of the effect. Though it may be useful to have more than one artifact conferring an effect in case another is damaged or lost.
  • Rule of Eight Rings: The first eight rings worn confer their benefits to the wearer. Any more rings are merely decorative. The more and differing kinds of spirits whose power you call upon, the more spiritual 'interference' results preventing someone from benefiting from wearing rings on twenty fingers and toes.
  • Ease of Removal: It is very easy to remove a ring from the wearer if they are restrained in some manner. Without the ring the spiritual protection is lost, and the battle of Will may soon follow.
  • Nullification: Effects that suppress or nullify the use of Force/magick may weaken or prevent the ring from functioning as intended.
DESCRIPTION
Armies and Rogues around the galaxy build and buy blasters, blades, armor, and 'tech toys' that bolster their fierce presence in the field of battle. Witches and Warlocks while able to use these things often are not burdened with rucksacks of gear or armor thick enough to be mistaken for a starship's hull. The ability to remain in contact with the world around them, and the freedom of movement is more important to their lifestyle. Yet, such women and men are still at times forced into conflict with those that do not follow their ways (and even those that do).

Therefore, the Solanaceae has taken to manufacturing and/or imbuing Artifacts of Power based on the research performed by diligent women and men of their coven of countless artifacts contained in their Vault. Such things are designed to provide various benefits to those that walk in their path in order to survive the perils of this world or the next.

The Ring of Darkness is one of these artifacts. This ring was crafted as a means to protect their more sun-conscious members and allies. Seeing how the
Vampirika Lady Nimue and the Nightmother Vytal Noctura have a close friendship, the Nightmother thought an item that would benefit the Silma might demonstrate the commitment to their partnership. After all, the Silma were always welcome as members of the Solanceae -- fellow researchers into the mystic ways of the galaxy. Being a Nightsister and daughter of Dathomir, Vytal also thought the ring could also be of use to the Solanaceae; after all, she was never much fond of the galaxy's preference for bright, yellow suns herself.
