Modifiable rings

• Definitions

  Fraction - temporary name for something like Makos/Eku Omu shop or Icewind Dale or something else to apply 'Fraction's Rings' mechanic.
  Fraction Mark - enchantment symbolizing one of the Fractions and another thing to farm for players during campaign.

• Basic Idea of Fraction's Rings is simple, they are three slot rings with offense enchant slot, defense enchant slot and fraction mark slot. Putting fraction mark into slot change ring's enchant slots to double offensive or double defensive, depending on fractions.

• After basic idea there comes some options like:
  -resign from +1/+2/+3... rings bonus
  -amount of stats in rings depends from fraction mark rank
  -fraction marks are refineable
  -fraction marks needs to be farmed at non-refineable rarities
  -stats on rings are static
  -stats type depends on fraction mark
  -stats amount depends on fraction mark
  -stats type depends on fraction mark and ring
  -fraction marks adds most universal stats to ring (like hp on fraction 1 (2x def slots) and power on fraction 2 (2x off slots))
  - 2 or more fractions?
  - ring stats are increased after adding fraction mark

• Some rings ideas (without changing stats due to fractions, if fraction marks give Power and HP, Power and HP on rings should be changed):
