Talk to Shedim (Demons/Devils), Jinn, & Spirits. The ring allows the wearer the ability to talk, read, & write in Abyssal, Celestial, Infernal Common (Arabic), and Common (Hebrew & Aramaic). Talk to Animals. The ring allows for the wearer to communicate with animals, at least bird, reptiles, and mammals. It gives the wearer a +1 to Charisma and related proficiencies while dealing with these creatures. Command. The wearer can command one shedim, jinn and spirit a day, and get it to carry out a specific task until ordered otherwise. The creature has to follow the command & obey the wearer, even if it is hostile to the wearer. Magical / Clerical Focus. The ring itself can be used as a focus for any spells cast by any spell casting class or sub-class, as long as they are of Good alignment. Curse the Evil. Any creature of Evil alignment cannot wear it for any length of time. To do so causes 1d6 force damage a day until it is removed. The wearer is branded with the mark of the Archangel Michael in angelic script on the finger they placed it on. Any Celestial seeing this mark gains advantage on any d20 roll against the creature.
The Seal of Solomon, also known as the Ring of Solomon (Hebrew: חותם שלמה Ḥotem Shelomo Arabic: خاتم سليمان Khātam Sulaymān) is the signet ring that Kink Solomon once wore. It usually appears with a hexagram or pentagram according to the faith of the wearer. A hexagram appears for someone of Jewish descent, a pentagram for a Muslim, or either (or even both for a Christian) for anyone else.
The story goes that it was given to King Solomon by the Archangel Michael, to command the evil of the world forcing them to do good instead. By doing so, Solomon commanded 73 demons/devils, or 73 jinn to build the First Temple of the Mount in Jerusalem. Angelic script is written on the inside saying that he / she who wears it is doing Michael's work on YHWH's behest, and only the pure of heart can truly use it without being marked or corrupted by it.
After Solomon's death, the ring disappeared, but rumours surface regularly in both Europe and the Middle East of it appearing in the hands of magic users, Jewish Kabbalists, and occultists. Some seem to meet with horrific endings, and single digit left with angelic writing burned into it. No sign of the ring is found after these incidents.
It is sought after by all manner of magic users for its ability to allow communication with spiritual forces. It allows them to be commanded by the wearer, who can use it to demand good works to be carried out, and even powerful beings like Asmodeus can be commanded with the ring.
