62. Man's ring with a dull grey stone. 1D6 hours after putting this ring on, the wearer develops a headache. If the wearer makes the connection between the ring and headache, and removes the ring, headache will go away in another 1D6 hours. If ring is not removed, the headache will go away of it's own accord in 1D10 hours at which time Psionics potential in any individual with psionic training will increase by 0 to 2 points. (Roll 1D6: 1= 0, 2-5 = 1, & 6 = 2. For a result of 1, reroll after wearing for 1 month. If 2nd roll is also 1, wearer gains Shield ability or adds 1 to shield level. For untrained persons this ring acts as a special talent focus to provide shield ability. If ring is removed before the focus atunes itself to an individual, the process may be re-started one more time as listed above. Removal of the ring a second time before the process is finished will bar that individual from ever gaining the benefit provided. Once an individual is attuned to the ring, it may be removed for up to 6 months at a time without affecting the atunement. If removed for longer tha 6 months, wearer must re-atune to the ring, but change the timing from hours to minutes. The same applies if ring is atuned to another person. This ring only effects homo sapiens. It has no effect on any other race. After atunement, the stone will have luster it did not have before.
For best results, have the pawn shop owner choose an individual and tell them something like this; "This ring had a sort of glow about it when it was pawned 6 years ago. After about 6 months, the glow gradually went away. Now no one seems to want it. I loaned 200 Cr on it, but the owner was killed in an accident before he could redeem it. Will you give me 10 Cr just to get it out of the store? I'm not sure what kind of metal it is made of, but it doesn't react to any of my testing agents so it has to be some noble alloy of some sort.
BTW: if this is not clear send me a pm and I'll try to clearify what I tried to say above.
