A ring lies on the pedestal before you; it appears to be made of a material that you have never before encountered, black as night. It is speckled with thousands of minute lights, calling to mind the stars of the heavens.

The Ring of Expanded Space is an entire nascent plane, folded into a stillborn form.

Upon donning the Ring, the ring seems to expand, flecks of it splintering until it forms a cloud of darkness and light around the hand of the user.

The Ring allows access to 125,000 cubes of extra-dimensional space, each one 1ft on each edge. They may, as a move action, open or close a 1ft square gate into any of their spaces; the gate must be made within 5ft of the user, but is otherwise unrestricted in duration.

The user may open or close a portal inside any space into any of the other spaces; however, it must be exactly 1ft square, and must be flush to at least one corner of the space. Once this is done, until the user decides to separate them, spaces so conjoined are considered to be the same space for all other effects performed by the ring.

To the user of the ring, the gravity of whatever space they are currently in is Subjective in both strength and in direction; to everyone else in that space, the gravity is Objective, with its strength and direction being equal to that of the user. When the user is not in a particular space, the gravity is Subjective in both strength and in direction for everybody, as if they were the user.

In addition, the user of the ring may, as a swift action, alter the lighting and temperature of a given space drastically; they may set the light levels (treating this effect as a [Light] or [Darkness] effect of 10th level) or temperature band (http://dnd.sendric.com/dmref/weather/temperature.html) to whatever suits their whims.

The light levels are, in order of brightest to darkest, natural sunlight, bright illumination, shadowy illumination, darkness, and magical darkness.

The edges of each space feel hard and glassy to the touch, looking similar to the material of the Ring; however, as a swift action, the user may alter the texture, pattern, and color of any number of surfaces of a single space; they could cause the "floor" to "grow" a "carpet" in the most exotic of patterns that they could care to imagine.

The user may, as a move action, reach the hand wearing the Ring into a container; if they do so, they may retrieve any non-secured item inside any of their spaces that could fit in that container and that they can lift. For the purposes of this artifact, a room is considered a container.

Finally, the user may, as a free action, duplicate any effect that can be performed with the Prestidigitation spell, except that the area that it affects is the entire interior of a single space.

The Ring's odd construction means that it can only be destroyed by effects that are designed to specifically destroy entire planes; as only a very few beings have anywhere near this level of power, the Ring seems to be here to stay.

I'm pretty sure this is the type of artifact that can make a man go insane.

In other words, I like it.

I tweaked it a bit.

Now it has Prestidigitation.

So, yeah, I'm glad you like the idea that someone had enough hubris to split up a 50ft cube demiplane into thousands of little cubes, and then twist them into a ring.

Pray you never find out why they did it. Or that they don't decide to move onto larger targets... (note to self: make Planar Regalia. Ring, ???, and ???...)

As written, it sounds like the users ring-and is turned into some type of key to the cubes. Am I misreading it out of exhaustion? If not, Can the ring be removed by anything short of removing the hand and can the hand do other things too? Do they get a slight of hand bonus or penalty? (can't see the hand, but they eye is draw to the odd cloud)
