Any creature can cast a spell of 1st through 5th level into the ring by touching the ring as the spell is cast. The spell has no effect, other than to be stored in the ring. If the ring can't hold the spell, the spell is expended without effect. The level of the slot used to cast the spell determines how much space it uses.

While wearing this ring, you can cast any spell stored in it. The spell uses the slot level, spell save DC, spell attack bonus, and spellcasting ability of the original caster, but is otherwise treated as if you cast the spell. The spell cast from the ring is no longer stored in it, freeing up space.

To Wear the Cloak

If your character is a spellcaster, Zora Culkin has offered to sponsor your admittance into the Brotherhood of the Cloak due to your service to the city of Mulmaster.
Though joining the Cloaks is mandatory for any arcanists seeking to stay in Mulmaster for an extended period of time, and sponsorship is not required, Zora Culkin's sponsorship will definitely have its perks.

Favor of Boddynock Glitterstone

Having spent time in the company of accomplished bounty hunter Boddynock Glitterstone, you have learned a thing or two about the history and efforts of the four major Elemental Evil cults that have been active in the regions through which you adventure. Boddynock reveals to you the location of a still functioning secret elemental node (air or water, PCs choice) near the Moonsea which you may travel to between adventures (spending 10 downtime days and the associated lifestyle costs).
Travelling to a water node will allow a character to recharge a weird tank while traveling to an air node will allow them to recharge a balloon pack, storm boomerang, and/or wingwear (1 per day). In addition, you gain advantage on Intelligence (History) checks relating to any two of the following Elemental Evil cults: the Black Earth, the Crushing Wave, the Eternal Flame, and/or the Howling
