When I first read this it struck me as fun, but little more than a novelty. There are some good ideas in here and the background story implied and hinted at throughout of a slowly unhinging wizard obsessed with immortality is very evocative. But, it lingered in my head a lot longer than I expected. I keep thinking about that wizard and his magic masterpiece and a whole mess of new ideas keep spinning off "my take" on the immortality obsessed wizard.
So, kudos for that. Anything that provides me with the amount of inspiration I've been squeezing out of a $3 product is worth the price of admission.
I stop short of five out of five because, the product is a laundry list of magic rings and that's really it. There isn't anything particularly new in this product (though the weapon traits applied to the hand that wears the ring is clever and new to me). I honestly think for most people this is a 2 or 3 out of 5 product because of its very narrow focus.
