As chosen by the Update Poll, the first part of the Rings Update is up! It features 20 new magical Rings for you to discover and try out! Mostly composed of returning, fan-favorite powers from the prequel: Devil Spire!
Changelog
New magical Ring Powers:
Soul Edge, or Reaver, straight from Devil Spire 1, this time, also coming in pairs! Conjure flaming blades when unarmed, for sick aura points!
Regeneration & Transfusion: Restore Health at the cost of Mana automatically, or the opposite!
Unbreakable! Your Weapon is now unbreakable, but it can still lose Durability, and its effectiveness falls up to 50% with it!
Friendly! Your attack never damage allies, and vice versa, they can still hit them though!
Giant Grip! Allowing you to use Two-Handed weapons in one hand!
Cannonball! Halves your fall damage, and you can now hold the Dodge button while falling to double your acceleration
Call Lightning! Zaps your enemies periodically when you're outside!
Fiery Steps! Your footsteps leave fire that burn any enemy that touches them!
Endless Quiver! Shooting ranged weapons has a 50% chance of not consuming Projectiles
Ally With Traps! Traps can no longer harm you
Mana Shield! Transforms all Damage into Mana Loss, if you have any
Save From Death! If you'd die, the ring shatters and restores you to full Health
Magic Attacks! Each Attack that doesn't hit shoots a magic blast with the same Damage and Impact as it, consuming Durability
Return The Pain! All Damage inflicted on you is returned to the nearest enemy, doubly so and before reductions
Recycle What's Broken! Breaking Equipment produces ores of the material they were made from
Replaced the Survival Skill Perk Discerning Eye (enables HP/MP/SP HUD for others) with Adrenaline Flood, which speeds you up based on how much Health you're missing. Discerning Eye is now a Ring Power

The Churches in Cities are now properly and wholly of the Followers of the Goddess, including her Altar
