Magical Items - Elegant rings

Not so long ago, Gillimer's Ring of Temperate Weather re-appeared again in the Weather Magic grimoire, at the Unseen University library. Since then, it is quite usual to see many wizards (specially those of the Silver Star branch) bejewelling their fingers with these nice little pieces of magic and craftsmanship, which provide a brief, albeit highly appreciated, respite from the inclemencies of the Discworld climates...

We won't go into details on the spell (it will have its own entry in the future). As to the rings, they look like this:

>look elegant ring

This ring is spinning around its axis radiating a magical aura. Looking at its revolving form, you are reminded of a blizzard, or a crackling fire. It hums softly.
The ring shines from within.
It is in excellent condition.

While worn, the ring communicates to its owner its climatic-protection properties ('You feel protected from the elements.') and will appear as a 'spinning elegant ring'. Your description will be slighty altered with an added line, as you will find yourself "encased in a translucent bubble".

The protection is limited (it seems to work when not subjected to crazy amounts of heat and cold, and doesn't work at all at the Temple of the Listening Monks' surrounding area) and doesn't last forever; casting skills probably fix the duration of the effects. After some time, you start receiving messages from the bubble (they are quite frequent, so they may not be directy related to protections getting weaker, though: 'The bubble around you flickers slightly'; 'The bubble around you flashes for a moment'), and after some more time, the ring will stop spinning. When that happens, you'll get a line like this: 'The ring glows, but then splutters and its warmth dies away'. It will lose the 'spinning' part in the simple look, stop working and present the following description:

>look elegant ring

This is a beautiful ring. It somehow combines the brightness of the sun with the delicacy of snow. It looks like it's made out of gold, but it is hard to tell.
It is in excellent condition.

You can stop wearing it at any moment, and that will also put an end to protections, as warned by the line: 'You feel at the mercy of the elements.' Once it has spent all its magic, you get, nevertheless, the possibility of recharging the ring by casting again Gillimer's spell over it.

The ring responds partially, as was mentioned in the Fabrication Classification Identification entry, to identification ("The weave pulses with soft yellow light"), but is unrechargeable except by said recasting of the spell on it. A failiure, like a first casting, will melt the ring and set the caster to sleep for a short amount of time.
