History
Johan Kist was still a young and promising Red Wizard when he created the first of the Nomad's rings. His apprentice attempted to claim the invention after stealing the ring. The thief was quickly apprehended by Johan and in retaliation, he created a spell that caused its target's flesh to peel away in small strips. As of the, Johan Kist kept the torturous spell to himself, never sharing its magic formulas.
