doesn't a piece of equipment go back to your spellbook when you try to equip two of the same ?

quote from the rulebook :

"if you cast an equipment spell for a location that is already full( such as a second weapon), the original equipment is returned to the owner's spellbook (not discarded"

doesn't this apply here ?

Yes, casting the second Life Ring on your mage when you already have a Life Ring equipped would return the original Life Ring to your book. You can't have 2 equipped at the same time.
<snip>

Point of rule however: like Bull Endurance, once Elfric's Life Ring is removed, the +4 Life is lost.  Then the new Elfric's Life Ring applies, and the +4 is regained.

You don't get to keep stacking the +4 Life for each casting of the ring, which is what pete2 seemed to be implying by his question.  The ring is actually a terrible card.

Indy is correct the ring gives a static +4 if it is removed you lose that bonus.

@Indy you get a sticker  8)

Wow.

Wow.

Wow.

This dragon looks very strong.

1st Turn:

Death Ring (2 mana)

Move two spaces closer to opponent.

2nd Turn (with 28 mana):

Full action: Summon Sardonyx (-23 mana)
Quick Action at end of turn: put nullify on Sardonyx

3rd turn (13 mana)

Full Action: Summon the Zombie Brute (11 mana)
Move Sardonyx closer

4th turn: (12 Mana)

- depending who goes first
- If the opposing mage uses his full action to move or teleport or banish Sardonyx (your Nullify will fire)

-Full action Bring Teleport (then teleport the mage between your Sardonyx and Zombie Brute).
-Attack with Sardonyx and follow up with Zombie Brute.
- Quick Action at end of turn: bring some attack spell

That is 11 ~15 dice at the end of fourth to the mage.

Not sure if he is in panic mode after that...

I just want to point out that Death Ring costs 5 mana... And you forgot the discount on Zombie Brute.
