It remains uniformly warm. Still heavier than gold should be. No flaws nor blemishes nor dents, and her fingers aren't leaving smudges on its polished surface. It's a perfect circle, too, with no signs of warping or poor casting.

She slips it onto a finger.

Her vision goes really weird. The world seems wispy, greyed out. Everything she's looking at is weirdly in focus, almost like she can mentally magnify small areas. Sounds are oddly distorted - she can hear things she normally can't, odd whispers and murmurs and scratching sounds.

It's bright, too, brighter than it should be - she sees perfectly into every shadow, and appears to be glowing a bit.

Whoa.

She takes it off.

Her senses go back to normal.

Magic ring, then. Some kind of... sensory modification? Not sure what the point is. Good for detail work, maybe.

If she puts the ring on and then focuses on it, does she notice anything?

It's warmer and heavier than it was, yet not particularly a burden. It belongs where it is. It's humming, faintly, barely noticeably, as if waiting for something.

Huh.

So what counts as putting it on? Fingertip? Little finger? Toe?

It seems to work as long as she has some amount of flesh inside of it! Also it perfectly and subtly resizes itself to whichever extremity, and doesn't come off unless she wants it to even when this is kind of physically implausible.

How very strange. What if she puts it on her tongue no bad idea. She won't be doing that.

Bellona walks in while she has the ring on, still, after her experiments - and doesn't seem to register that El's there.

Eh? Maybe she's just distracted.

She's looking around - calls out, "Hey, El - " and then sighs and keeps walking to the other door.

Or maybe not. Mirror, mirror, she needs a mirror...

Bellona wanders off.

(There's a mirror a few rooms over.)

El goes to look in the mirror.

She appears to be invisible.

Neat.

She slips the ring off and goes to find Bellona.

Bellona is findable. "Oh, there you are..." she says.

"Were you looking for me? I thought I heard you calling."

"Yeah - "

She has a few questions about an experiment they've been running...

El has answers. Or some answers, anyway.

Still, Bellona seems satisfied with them, and uses a few to bounce into further ideas.

That's her Lion. Always thinking.

Heh.

They'll have to do a lot of thinking over the next few weeks and months, the dwarves are considering going to war more strongly now, regardless of how much the Elric sisters are helping...
