Homer's Ring
Homer's Ring is a mythical artifact that amplifies magic-related ability and gradually raises its wearer's intelligence.
History
Retrieval and awakening
Evil Society identifies the unawakened ring and obtains temporary custody during a struggle over it. Hajin targets the ring itself, snatches it from the Djinn holding it, and later examines its mud-like shell. By supplying the required awakening through Setting Intervention, he causes the outer surface to crack away and reveal a platinum-colored ring. He wears it long enough to benefit from its intelligence increase, although its magic amplification is poorly matched to Stigma because the mark itself cannot wear the ring. (Chapters 50–53, 113, and 141)
Gift to Yi Byul
Hajin eventually stores the ring in Stigma's extradimensional space while considering a better owner. Although he once regarded Chae Nayun as the most efficient recipient, he chooses Yi Byul instead because her large magic-power capacity can use the amplification. He places it in her palm as a gift, explicitly changing the ring's owner. (Chapter 220)
