Spell Rings
Spell Rings are a new weapon type intended to be an alternative to runestaffs. They use brawling training instead of magical ranks for defense.
Takes two functional ring slots to equip.
Always equipped and do not need to be held.
Immune to disarm.
Flares, scripts, and other item properties do function. There are some caveats to this:
Some scripts may not make sense thematically and will not be updated to support Spell Rings.
This is a new weapon entirely so scripts will have to be updated to support the rings. The initial script offering will be much lower due to this.
Can not parry like runestaffs, but do have parry DS.
These rings work very similar to brawling for parry DS, but the enchant is added directly to the player’s Defense Strength similar to runestaffs.
Spell Rings may not be used with a rune staff. If both are equipped, the rune staff has priority.
Pros
New look
Can not be disarmed
Easier to channel with 2 open hands
Works with shields
Cons
Brawling is expensive so sacrifices will have to be made on the magical side
Takes two functional ring slots which are valued for enhancives
Unable to parry
