First appearance: S2E8 — Father’s Love — Dadrith v Baron Voltágè · watch it on YouTube
The Ring of Three Wishes is exactly what it sounds like: a ring holding three wishes, and three chances for things to go horribly wrong. It entered the arena as a prize for Baron Voltágè, who paid for it with his soul. It has turned up since, once as an object of desire and once as a slightly used collectible card.
Description
The ring grants three wishes, one per charge. Like any wish, it is dangerous to use carelessly. When it was handed over, the Grandmaster gave the standard warning:
“Be ever careful… As with any wish, the wording must be particular.”
A gold-chained trading card picturing the ring later appeared. Its description names it as a ring of three wishes and promises one wish spell, with the caveat that “you may not like the results.”
History
In S2E8 — Father’s Love — Dadrith v Baron Voltágè, Baron Voltágè gave up his soul. The Arbiter was reluctant to reward him for it: “Grandmaster, are you sure we have to give him these items?” The Grandmaster was firm: “We have to. They’ve earned it. He gave his soul.” The Baron was offered a belt of cloud giant strength or the ring. He already wore gloves of ogre strength, so he turned down the belt and took the wishes.
All three charges were used before the match ended. Late in the fight, the Baron’s lifeless body drifted down through the water. Dadrith caught the ring glinting on his hand and swam for it. A growing bubble let him speak underwater, and he urged his opponent to hang on: “Come. You are someone’s son. Hold on. Don’t give up.” The Baron came round just enough for one last act.
The ring came up again in S3E6, Homunculus - Coen v Alfucius, the match between Coen and Alfucius. Alfucius said the ring was what he had come for.
In S3E14, Magic Duel (Talbot Cage v Seth Kaiser), heatless fire shot out of Gerald, and the Box crawled out with a gift. “I did some digging… I found the best card in my collection.” It was a PSA 10 graded card on a golden chain, picturing a ring of three wishes, and he hung it around Seth’s neck. Gerald was upfront about its condition: “I already used two of them. You got a used [one]. It’s still a pretty cool card, right?”
