OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
- Intent: Create more Mystical Artifacts for use by the Solanaceae - One of many 'Soul Stone' line of Rings
- Image Source: DeviantArt
- Canon Link: N/A
- Permissions: N/A
- Primary Source: Soul Stone: Ring of Self
- Manufacturer: Solanaceae
- Affiliation: Solanaceae, Confederacy of Independent Systems
- Model: Ring of Retrieval
- Modularity: No
- Production: Semi-Unique, Solanaceae
- Material: Songsteel, Spessartite Garnet
- What's Yours Is Mine: Objects able to be held by a single hand of the wearer for thirty seconds (size/weight limit) can be instantly stored within a dimensional pocket for retrieval later.
- What's Mine Is Mine: Objects stored by the ring can be retrieved by the wearer envisioning which object should be returned in the palm of their hand or within their grasp.
- 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.
- Pack mule: The weight and space requirements to carry gear or other portable objects do not burden the wear when stored using the ring. It can also be used to conceal objects from searches.
- Henchman: The wearer is able to retrieve objects stored by the worn ring on-demand.
- Authorized Use Only: The Spirits know who follows 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.
- A Free Hand: The wearer must possess a free hand to hold or otherwise take possession of any retrieved object one at a time. This also slows the rate in which objects can be retrieved based on the wearer's reaction time.
- Active Retrieval: Objects can only by consciously envisioning the specific object to be retrieved. Without knowing what is stored in a particular ring it would take considerable time (far longer than any field-retrieval) to trace the connection to the dimensional pocket where such items are stored.
- 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.
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 Retrieval is one of these artifacts. This ring was crafted to allow its wearer to store and retrieve equipment including components needed for various rites and rituals. Such items are stored outside of the material realm using magick/The Force, relieving the wearer of the burden of such objects' weight and or size, which can be beneficial when you're already carrying enough. Objects should not be stored using this ring under the following circumstances: when the wearer needs the ability to retrieve gear even when the Force is suppressed or not available, retrieve multiple objects at once, or to allow others to gain access to that gear without their involvement (e.g. unconscious).
