When the wearer of this ring issues the proper verbal command, the dweomer of the item activates, and he or she is then affected exactly as if a blink spell (qv) were operating upon his or her person. 

The effect always lasts for 6 rounds. The ring then ceases to function for 6 turns (1 hour) while it replenishes itself. 

The command word is usually engraved somewhere on the ring. The ring will activate whenever this word is spoken, even though the command might be given by someone other than the wearer, provided that the word is spoken within 10 feet of the ring.
