I supported that too, but Griev was up in arms about "muh balance" since Good players could avoid the effect, so I removed it. If it's popular, I'll consider re-adding it.

It's notable that these Rings aren't exactly Lesser Rings, which were gemless and very weak. These are made with the knowledge later learned over time--thus gems, and the ability to preserve. Thus, wraith-world corruption would not be entirely out-of-place, though certainly non-canon.
