On the magics surrounding the magii rings:
 
Certain conversations and gatherings of magii have 
created the thought that perhaps there is more than 
meets the eye concerning the great blue stone, and 
more specifically, the rings that were crafted from 
it. I believe that they are a means to keep all of 
the magii of the inner flame connected, not only as 
a means to draw our power from. Firstly, I have poured 
over as many of the old scrolls in the MIF tower that 
I could find, hoping to discover if perhaps this was 
a known fact. Not finding any such documents, I have 
decided to write an inquiry requesting any such knowledge 
from the current MIF members. The paper "On The Nature 
of Magic" by Estlor gives proof that such bonds are 
possible. Though Estlor talks only of spells in his 
scroll, we can attempt to apply his labels to the magic
of the blue stone rings.  In the division of magic, 
in the Dweomer of Thaumaturgy, the subcategory Artifice 
is the magic that is cast be focusing energy in ancient 
relics. We can certainly say that the blue stone is an 
ancient relic, being the source of all magic itself, 
and so the rings certainly qualify, being an offshoot of 
that power. Therefore, this is the most likely magic that 
is in effect. 
 
The actual magic that I believe is occurring is a 
subconscious bond between any members of the magii that 
wear a blue stone ring. The bond is nothing more than a 
nagging feeling inside of one’s head, barely noticeable if 
one isn’t looking for it, as I feel it. I believe it is 
this trigger that tends to draw more than one magii to a 
gathering place at a time, which would explain why there 
are hardly ever single magii wandering about the road, but 
rather many gathered when any are present. This makes sense 
in that if all of the rings are made out of the stone, it 
is drawing to itself, but also to each other. 
 
This theory is entirely hypothetical, but I believe if 
someone of enough skill or age within the magii can find 
out about the origin of the rings and there purpose, or even
their creator, it would shed some light on the idea and 
whether or not there is any truth in it. If there is, it 
would surely be a useful tool to be able to hone that magic 
and be able to sense the presence of other magii at any given 
time. So, if you know anything about the origin of the rings, 
please do share.
