In a soon to be starting campaign I've created these rings in the campaign world and in real life(not actually metal as you can guess). The idea was that after talking to each player separately nobody discussed becoming a full castor. To allow this because I don't want to punish them for being the character they want to be in the world there were rings forged, each ring was made with a specific thing in mind(the red one gets fire spells, and so on...) each player will get one, and important npc's/bosses will get one as well. Each ring gives the wearer access to spells as the player levels up(say they leveled up and got to the level that a wizard would get fireball, the player with the fire ring gets fireball once a day, and so on with other fire spells). The idea was that the players could choose their classes without worrying about having a healer, a wizard, etc... do these seem too much? I understand that they'd be powerful against by the book creatures, but i have several counters to that:
1. If everyone has one in the party nobody will be overpowered compared to other party members
2. This explains why nobody else goes out to stop the world ending thing. These rings have plot powers that allow the players to save the world
3. As they become more known eventually everyone will know about "the great hero joe and his ring of fire", and would plan accordingly(having a bucket of water nearby just in case, etc...)
Finally, I'd like your help to come up with unique power for whatever ring pops into your head of anytype, or maybe some curse. Anything you can think of. Although to alleviate worries some of the rings will happen to be phylacteries to the group of liches(litchi?) that seek to destroy the party.
This is my first campaign and I want the players to have fun
