The rings, forged by one of the unholy smiths, is created from an unknown iron like substance, it is nearly unbreakable. When a block has been prepared by a warrior and the warrior is attacked, The effect can only absorb a portion of each attack on the player armed with these (50% rounded down) and then the damage can be reflected back at any enemy (all stored energy must be used at once). The effect can stack to a total of 8 damage absorbed, any more and the gauntlets will not absorb any more damage. The effect scales to a level 5 character absorbing up to 12 damage, a level 8 character absorbing up to 16 damage, a level 12 character absorbing up to 24 damage, at level 15 character absorbing 40 damage. Once 8/12/24/40 damage has been dealt the effect is nullified for one short rest (this is a removeable curse but requires a level 7 character), after the 8/12/24/40 damage is done the rings at act as a normal ring would.
