Ring of Midas
Magical Rings
By:

This ring is cursed. When this ring is placed on a finger it will not come off unless remove curse is cast twice. There is only ever one ring but when it's placed on the finger a duplicate ring appears on a finger of the other hand, which is the purpose of the double remove curse. When the ring is being worn anything touched is turned to gold. If the touch is intentional or not it doesn't matter the out come is still the same. Magical items are allowed a savings throw against destruction/disintegration with their enchantment as a bonus to avoid the golden effect. If a person is turned to gold a remove curse spell will return them back to normal. The wearer of the ring(s) is immune to the touch and can never turn themselves to gold, there equipment is another story though. Nothing aside from a God, Demi-God, Avatar or God-like being is safe from this ring.
