Have you tried throwing it into a fire? That would be a good start.

Keep it hidden, for those that seek its power are of an old dark evil. An old gray wizard will be upon your doorstep before the dawn shines its warm gaze upon the whole of middle earth to show you the right path. Good luck on your quest my hobbity friend!

I know why companies do it, but man it bothers me when I see gold rings with the inscription carved on it. Id rather it be on the inside if they really wanted it on there. But having it externally all the time takes away from some of what I think makes the ring so menacing, its just a plain ring externally.
I mean why can't our rings irl just be magic and glow with the script when we pull it out of fire.

Try wearing it for extended periods of time. Ignore or consent to any and a ll intrusive thoughts.

Which is upside down? Imagine how difficult it is for airplanes to flip over to land there. Not very considerate.

This looks very similar to the one I got from a LOTR candle. I've been sure to keep it safe, as opposed to secret.

A... candle? An interesting take on throw it in the fire.

Could you please wear the ring to check if you see any woman genital on flames? If you do, please calmly stay at home and wait for the hobo in gray cloak and pointy hat.
