''Quotes to be added. Maybe.''

Intro: Bilbo found a magic ring on his adventure through the Misty Mountains, and Gandalf simply called it a magic ring. At first, he had no clue it was the One Ruling Ring of Power.

Proposal: I propose that magic rings be added to the mod. Please don't ban me. These are NOT the 3 Elven Rings, or the Dwarf Rings, or the Nine Rings of Men, or even the Ruling Ring. These are simply magic rings. Simple trinkets that the Elven Smiths of Eregion made while they prepared themselves for the crafting of the Rings of Power.

Obtaining: In each different chunk, there would be a 0.25% chance for a magic ring to spawn. It would be a placed item on the ground and would drop if you right-clicked on it. They would be very hard to spot, as they are only comprised of 8 pixels in a ring pattern with one of the side-middles being a gem color. The other seven are colored either silver, gold, or Mithril. There is also a 0.05% chance for an NPC to drop a ring as an item. No restrictions on band type or gem.

In case of spear bugging, the ring will also drop if the block below it is broken.

Powers: Different metallic bands give a different level of magical potency, with Silver being weakest, Gold being next, and Mithril being the strongest. Different gems are what give the different effects. These can be potion effects, they can give attack effects, (i.e., Inflict poison) or they might be something completely different, like giving a weapon buff. Diamond might give Regeneration, whereas Emerald might give Leaping (and/or Long 0.5 on weapons) and Sapphire could give Swiftness (and/or Swift 0.5/0.75 on weapons) and Ruby could give Strength buffs. The rest of the gems I leave for the mod creator mevans and his team top decide.

''Note: If a ring gives a weaponry buff, it stacks on whatever modifiers you already have. Example: You are wielding a Swift Halberd. If you have a Sapphire ring, you now have a SUPER Swift Halberd.''

''Note: Coral should not be a gem that gives buffs, as it would be rather rocky instead of the nice smooth polished finish the smiths would have been able to get from the other gems. Pearl would however, (it will most likely give Water Breathing/Respiration/Depth Strider/Aqua Affinity) as they dwarves of Nogrod (Belegost?) had a pearl that they prized above all the rest of their wealth combined, and the elves would have used gems that they knew were precious, even if the recipient wasn't themselves.

Wearing: We simply need vanity/magic slots to be added. One of them will be for a ring, and you will smack a hotkey (R) to activate your magic ring's power. Your ring's abilities will have a cooldown in-between uses. Different powers will have different cooldown timers to prevent one ring type from being to overpowered. For now, they will simply be another item that you hold in your hotbar. Man, this game is getting crowded...

Thanks for reading! Constructive criticism and kudos welcome!
