Heh, if there was magic for real I would actually expect that the
material a magic ring is made of plays an important role. Well, still
we can ignore this and achive the same results without material type,
but the same is true for armour and weapons. We wouldn't have to care
whether an armour is made of leather or mithril, but we do. We could
invite some witches, wizards, alchemists, astrologists from the real
world for advice.

Silver might be a good choice for rings of ice as it must feel quite
cool for it is the best conductor of heat - and electricity as well,
so maybe for 'ring of storm', too. OTOH, a gold ring might make a
(str-1, cha+2) ring. There could even be non metal rings and they may
be combustible.

I would, however, not like rings with equal properties to have
different materials and so would not stack. I do have 2 rings of
wisdom+2, adamant, fire, resist confusion +24, strength +2, acid, ice.

      because we buggered it making a decoration.
