[QUOTE="Bedrockgames, post: 9363986, member: 85555"] Upthread I presented two possible ways an object could be evil. One is a rather silly way, but something we see in fantasy all the time and something I would argue we can easily imagine: the ring is made of pure evil in some way, perhaps taken from a plane of evil or made from the physical form of an evil being, or just so devoid of goodness and divinity that it radiates a kind of evil (I don't think such a thing exists in life, but I can imagine it). The other is an object possessed or imbued with evil. I would say the ring is more the latter, but it feels like it could also be read as the former (not that it was made from concentrated evil but became a kind of concentrated evil). At the very least, the ring is so powerful, so difficult to destroy, so malicious and harmful, we would all agree it is an evil ring, an evil object. Do I think there is exists evil I can hold in my hands? No. My point is it is something you can visualize and imagine. It is symbol and myth. [/QUOTE]
