Saleen touched the ring. The structure of the ring was identical to the Ring of Gifts. What was different was that there was nothing Saleen was able to do to open the space within. He even splashed the ring with a drop of power of faith, and the ring did not react in any way. The drop of power of faith simply slid off the ring and landed on the floor.
The blot of power of faith tried to enter the flooring of the Magical Element Tower, yet the elementite of the tower had been refined by Gaine to level 18, making it the sturdiest material in the entire series of crystal walls. The drop of power of faith rolled around, unable to get in.
Saleen retrieved the drop of power of faith with the Ring of Gifts. While he never use any divine spells anymore, power of faith itself was a type of very pure energy, which could also be converted to the power required by mages. That was proven by the grandmaster and the others looking desperately for things related to the gods.
