Effect

When worn, the Ring of Shielding periodically generates a protective barrier that absorbs incoming damage up to a certain threshold. The shield regenerates over time, providing consistent protection against damage.

According to the game's string resources: “This ring generates a magical shield which will attempt to block incoming damage. The shield's capacity depends on the ring's level, and it takes time to recharge after being broken.”
