With this Ring........

  Calin closed his eyes and began to meditate. He thought back to his days at the temple training, he remembered his old master having objects with power directly in them. How they had been made was never directly revealed to him, only that he would learn them at a later time when the order felt he was ready. That time had yet to come and because he was still in the field he couldn’t go back and petition for the rote. He didn’t have a choice though, since coming to Austin he had seen a couple of things that already had him thinking this was a rough neighborhood. It seemed to be some sort of supernatural nexus. Which was all the more reason he needed to have his defenses up at all times.  “I know I can place this on me, I just have to figure out how to get it from me to the ring” he thought to himself. Opening himself up to the Aether he began channeling pure prime energy. The warmth of it always overwhelmed him when he first held on, but what else do you expect when you are pulling down the power of Heaven into the earth?

                Slowly Calin began to try and maneuver the shield woven of pure force onto the ring. He first slid it wholly on, but that just seemed to protect the ring and not himself. Recasting the shield again he began to chant using the high speech he had learned. As he did the world around him began to flicker and change. He could see the waves of heat coming from the vents feel the pulsing of the electrical wires in the wall, hear the winds blowing outside. It made the shield around him become more defined and have sharper edges. “There has to be a way” he thought “Maybe if I could join them together that will work" Using his hands Calin began forming a tube impossibly thin by material world standards. He stretched and thinned it out even more, then placing one end in the shield he "welded" it in place with Prime. Doing the same for the other end he could feel the force of the shield flow into the ring. Elation filled him as he believed it to have worked, however it was short lived as the ring was now tethered to him and he couldn't move his hand without pulling on the thread of Prime. Frustrated and starting to lose concentration Calin dug deeper into himself and drew deeper on the power of the Aether. "What am I missing?" Looking around himself he could see everything now. He could hear the chourus of the angels singing around him and he could see the energy going from his body into the shield. "I got it! It's not the shield, but the source of the shield that must be moved. No wonder they keep this from you. I have to give up a part of my self to sustain the energy in the shield. I understand now" Summoning all the will he could Calin reached into his essence and took the tiny bit that was powering the shield and placed it in the center stone of the ring. The smallish brown stone that was once plain now clearly had a star of light in the middle of it shining with the power placed in it. As Calin released the flow of Prime he nearly fainted as his body slumped over. A quick glance at the clock showed the reason why. He had spent 15 straight hours chanting and channeling, but it worked, the shield was still up.
