This spell enables the caster to precisely duplicate a single power or function of a magical ring that the caster has previously used. The caster need not possess the ring or have investigated its enchantments. The ring power functions as many times as the caster has experience levels (if called on that many times before the spell expires), and the ring power erupts from any single non-living item chosen by the caster during spellcasting. The caster can even make the power erupt from a non-magical ring, to fool observers into thinking the ring bears a permanent dweomer. The power manifestations only come forth from this one focus item, and the spell is broken if the item is destroyed.
A dispel magic cast directly on the item has no effect on the functioning of the ringweave spell except to prevent any power discharge for one round per level of the caster of the dispel magic. The ring power is called forth by silent act of will, but the wizard can perform no other spellcasting in the same round as the ring is called upon. If the ring power is carefully called upon, the caster may well be able to conceal the focus item, which can be positioned anywhere in spell range. The caster need not be wearing the focus item or be in contact with it.
This spell will not duplicate the following ring powers:
Spell storing.
Any power from a ring with limited charges (those from the DMG include: djinni summoning, mammal control, ring of the ram, telekinesis, wishes [both], and wizardry).
Any power from an artifact or relic (for example, the Ring of Gaxx).
Any power from a cursed ring.
Notes: Restricted to the Seven Sisters, their apprentices, and select Harpers; very rare.
