Ring of Retrocognition

Magic item, Ring

Reproduces the Retrocognition spell of Mysticism.

From the book

Once a day this ring grants Retrocognition, a Mysticism spell that brings a vague vision of some past event in a chosen area, such as a violent death or someone passing through. Rings come in many kinds and sizes, most made from 1/4 to 1 oz. of metal and often set with gems or engraved with arcane symbols and inscriptions.

As a greater magic item its magic is permanent and renews itself each day. Making one calls for the materials of a minor magic item and two months plus two weeks for each level of the spell it holds, with a 99% chance of success; one offered for sale usually costs at least twice its materials plus 2,000 G.P. per week of enchanting. It counts toward the seven magic items a person may carry or wear at once; go past seven and none of them works.
