This is a magical ring. When worn on the middle finger, it can be used to trigger a symbol of pain effecting all enemy (and no allies) in a 90 degree cone out to 9″.  Those subjected to it must save versus magic (first edition) or make a Will Save (3rd edition) or suffer a -4 on all  “to-hit” rolls and their movement rate is halved due to wracking pains. This lasts for 2-20 turns. This ability can be used 3 times per day, but only once per round.

Triggering the ability requires a certain gesture.

The ring costs 5,000 gold pieces.
