Ring of invisibility

A ring of invisibility was an enchanted ring that allowed the wearer to turn invisible at will.

Description
It appeared to be an unremarkable silver ring.

Powers
When they so wished, the wearer of this ring could turn invisible, as per the spell invisibility. The power of these rings functioned automatically whenever the wearer desired so long as the ring was worn. One in ten rings of invisibility also made the wearer inaudible. A wearer of one of the inaudible variants could speak if they desired, but would cease the inaudible function of the ring for that moment.

They remained in this state until they removed the ring, cast a spell, or attacked any person or creature.

The ring had an unlimited number of uses.

A cursed ring of invisibility could simply disappear at inopportune times or make only the wearer invisible, not their clothing and carried items.

Creation
To make a ring of invisibility, one required skill in forging rings and the spell invisibility. The silver used should also be pure or from an existing ring of invisibility.
