The Magic Ring of the Adept Linguist, as described in Dungeons and Dragons homebrew content, is a silver ring with a jet black gemstone, engraved with two arrows pointing in opposite directions and the name “Elak.” This ring enables the wearer to understand four additional languages, chosen by the DM, which do not change upon removal and re-equipping. It contains a trapped soul that translates languages to the wearer but does not grant proficiency. The soul may be released, turning the ring into a regular piece of jewelry oai_citation:1,Ring of the Adept Linguist (5e Equipment) – D&D Wiki.
