Ring of Counterspelling?

[Wolffenjugend]

Does this magic item work vs. the area effect version of a Dispel Magic?

 

[Demon Knight]

no

 

[James McMurray]

That depends, where is the item from? What does it do? What does it cost?

The DMG/SRD.

"This ring might seem to be a ring of spell storing upon first examination. However, while it allows a single spell of 1st through 6th level to be cast into it, that spell cannot be cast out of it again. Instead, should that spell ever be cast upon the wearer, the spell is immediately countered, as a counterspell action, requiring no action (or even knowledge) on the wearer’s part. Once so used, the spell cast within the ring is gone. A new spell (or the same one as before) may be placed in it again."

4000 gp.

Since the area effect version is not 'cast upon the wearer', the ring would not counterspell it.
