Rings

Description
Magical Rings are for the magic-users and the mundane alike. The use of these rings is quite simple: put a ring on your finger, and whatever magical ability it grants takes effect immediately. However, magic rings that provide regeneration or invisibility also have a drawback: they vanish after a period of use. Still, they are a must-have for adventurers, to be used only when necessary, in order to preserve them. Protection rings on the other hand do not vanish.

History
Magical rings of all three variants (protection, invisibilty and regeneration) first appeared in Ultima V. From there on, they functioned the same (none appeared in Ultima VIII and Ultima IX). Other variants of magical rings with new effects, which were not special items, appeared in the Ultima Underworld games, working under different rules.
