Ring of Mind Shielding

A  is a ring that protects the wearer from various forms of detection or mind-reading magic and can be used to house the soul of a dead former wearer.

Description
An attuned wearer of a ring of protection is immune to magic that would read their thoughts, determine if they were lying, know their alignment, or know what type of creature they are. It also blocks them from unwanted telepathic communication.

The wearer can, as an action, make the ring invisible. Taking off the ring will make it visible; it will also become visible if they die. If an attuned wearer dies while, their soul will enter the ring unless the ring already houses a different soul. A soul within the ring can either remain within the ring or choose to leave and go on to the afterlife. A soul within the ring can communicate telepathically with the creature wearing it, and is exempt from the ring's blocking of unwanted telepathic communication.

History
Scanlan Shorthalt owned a ring of mind shielding, which was discussed as Vox Machina planned their attack on the duergar camp below Kraghammer. It was last mentioned in.

It was implied that such rings were very common among the mages of Avalir in the Age of Arcanum. Patia Por'co owned a ring of mind shielding which allowed her to recognize that Lacrytia Hollow was also protected by one that might have preserved Lacrytia's soul within, when she died.
