Fivefold Rings of Fire

Description

These five golden rings are each set with a fire opal and are linked together by thin golden chains (making them take up only a single ring item slot). The wearer can release up to five scorching rays each day, one from each of the five rings. She can release one ray as a standard action or two rays (from two different rings) as a full-round action. 12th Level: Each day, the wearer can ignore up to 40 points of fire damage as if using protection from energy. This fire damage is absorbed into the fivefold rings of fire; when this happens, if the wearer has already expended one or more of her scorching rays for the day, she can recharge one of the rings for every 20 points of fire damage she absorbs.

14th Level: In place of a scorching ray, the wearer can choose to create a flaming sphere. The effect takes the form of hollow rings of flame instead of a sphere, but otherwise functions as the spell. 16th Level: The amount of fire damage the wearer can absorb each day increases to 100 points.
