The RINGS of NAVARRE
Purchase a Ring of Navarre and imagine the good that you could do if four people who had the same ring used the rings’ power to help others. The Navarré rings sold here are NOT REAL – they are replicas, but the power to do good always has been and always will be available to everyone.
The Ring of Strength
Kalos’ first ring gave the user the strength of ten men and also made the owner twice as fast as any person living at the time. Kalos had hoped that this ring would be used to protect the weak or defend a village against aggressors. The bearer of Ring 1 could also help people lift heavy stones and logs to help build houses or wells. The bearer’s speed and strength would also be an advantage in common work such as hunting or getting messages to neighboring towns.
Since you do not have the original Rings of Navarre, you will not have the strength and speed those rings bestowed on its owners. Still, there is much that four children can do to accomplish the good that Kalos had hoped for. Here are some ideas for four children who each have Ring One and come together to help others:

The Ring of Hearing
The second ring gave the user incredible hearing abilities. The owner could hear quiet voices even 100 meters away or the footsteps of a deer in the forest. A person who used this ring could help others with hunting, alert travelers to bandits on the road, or respond to cries for help that no one else could hear.
In today’s world a person who “hears” well, also must listen well in order to help. Here are some ideas for four children who each have Ring two and come together to help others:

The Ring of Telekinesis
Kalos’ third ring gave the ring-bearer of the ring the power to move objects with their mind. A person with this ring could only move objects weighing approximately 100 pounds. With practice, however, the ring bearer could move several large objects at one time. In an earlier time, Ring 3 was used to clear fields for farming or to help build homes or any structure that was made of heavy objects. In battle, the ring-bearer could alter the path of incoming arrows or projectiles and throw heavy objects small distances.
Today, the power of telekinesis would be especially useful in helping people who do not have the strength or ability to move objects or physically get the things they need. Here are some ideas for four children who each have Ring Three and come together to help others:

The Ring of Illumination
The fourth ring developed by the Great Wizards gave the bearer of the ring the power to illuminate -- bring light into dark places. At a time when there was no electricity, this power was the greatest of the “lesser powers,” enabling a person to light a path through the woods or brighten an entire room. A person with this ring could also create a dome of soft light around her that stretched for approximately 50 meters in every direction.
The power of illumination is still needed to bring light to dark places. Here are some ideas for four children who each have Ring Four and come together to help others:

The Ring to Amplify
Ring Five was the only one of Kalos’ rings that was not used for self-gain. It gives the ring-bearer the ability to amplify or temporarily grow the strengths or abilities of another person. For example, if a person were strong, the ring-bearer could make that person stronger. He could make a person a better marksman with a bow, a more skilled carpenter, a better healer, or a faster runner. With time and practice using this power, the owner of this ring could amplify a person’s ability for several weeks at a time. The ring-bearer could amplify the abilities of several people at one time. However, the more people upon which the power was used, the less intense the power would be and the less time it would last.
The Great Wizards also imbued the ring with the power to amplify another person’s weaknesses. Thus, the ring-bearer could make a sick person more ill or a fearful person more of a coward. This aspect of the ring made the bearer gravely powerful with the ability to do great harm itself amplified.
The power of amplification is the first of the “greater powers” and if used for good is grounded in empowerment. Here are some ideas for four children who each have Ring Five and come together to help others:

The Ring to Glimpse the Future
Ring Six carried the power of future-sight. With the ring on, the owner would see glimpses of the future from a week to a month ahead. Given time and practice, the ring bearer could catch a glimpse of the future of a specific person. Such images of the future were always accurate, except in the case that the ring-bearer himself or herself inadvertently changed the future by taking some preventative or countervailing action. Also, the ring-bearer had to take extra care not to presume to know the context of every future event seen with the ring.
The power of future sight can help guide people along life’s journey, helping them to avoid costly mistakes and also giving them hope that a better day or time lies ahead. Here are some ideas for four children who each have Ring Six and come together to help others:

The Ring to Turn Back Time
Ring 7 bestowed the power to turn back time for approximately one hour. Only the ring-bearer would know that time had turned back. He or she could then do things differently for that time or take action knowing what other people were going to do. In battle, having the power to turn back time gave the side of the ring-bearer a great advantage. Small acts could change the outcome of a battle or even change the course of history. Because of the tremendous impact this ring could have (both for good or for ill), the Great Wizards constrained its power, ensuring that the ring could only be used one time during each full moon.
The power to turn back time is one of the greater powers and is the most restricted. Four children who each have Ring Seven and come together to help others could:

The Ring of Invisibility
Many consider Ring 8 to be the most powerful of them all. It made its wearer invisible for several hours at a time. If four people used the rings in concert, they would be able to see each other, but they would be invisible to everyone else.
Of course, the invisibility ring gave its wearer incredible advantages in battle. The bearer of an invisibility ring could also move in and out of enemy camps unseen and escape harm should danger be nearby. But the power of Ring 8 could also be used for great wrongdoing if its wearer wanted to gain power or wealth. Thus, the Great Wizards rarely made a ring of invisibility, forging such a ring only five times in a thousand years. Kalos made four invisibility rings, but ensured that the rings’ power could only be accessed if the four rings were used together.
The power of invisibility is the greatest of the powers. Four children who each have Ring Eight and come together to help others could:
