Description
Appearance
In its initial form, the ring takes the shape of a bracelet. With 10 minutes of concentration, the Ring can transform into any number of jewelry pieces, retaining its functionality. Where a bracelet may spin around your wrist, a pendant may morph one face into the next quickly, the form is yours to choose and customize.
Properties
As an action, you may activate a mask to begin a connection between you and the recipient, allowing you to speak in real-time. Activating multiple masks at once creates a conference call where all parties may communicate across lines. Conversations over these connections are audio-only and are audible to nearby creatures.
Connections will remain active until terminated. To terminate a connection, you must tap the contact’s corresponding mask.
To bind a contact, you must speak its command word and allow a creature to touch an unbound mask. Each mask is a likeness of the creature’s face at the time of binding. To unbind a contact, speak the command word and touch the mask you wish to unbind. The Ring of Masks holds ten masks.
If the contact possesses a Ring of Masks, binding to another Ring will cause both parties to be bound to each other’s Rings. If the contact does not possess one, the Ring will fabricate a companion mask to be given to the contact. This mask bears the likeness of the Ring’s owner, and functions the same as a normal mask.
