Complete Arcane reprinted it. From Magic of Faerun (?) originally.

It is an incredibly bad idea to let it anywhere near a game you respect.

It's in Complete Arcane.

It makes you aware of all spellcasting within 60' and enables you to redirect a spell once per day. OMG, it's like playing a permission deck in Magic The Gathering !

Nice little item.

Given it's price, why exactly is it considered so overpowered?

I really don't think it is overpowered. For the same price you could buy a 3/day metamagic rod to boost your own spells. Its basically a last resort once per day spell to save the party when the DM throws a meteor swarm your way or possibly a way to intercept the overpowered buff that the NPC casts on themself (although it doesn't work on Personal only buffs, and that leaves you open to attacks).

Interesting item. I kind of got distracted by the most horrible, stupid item ever printed being in that book.

You know the one...the save game feature.

Yeah, the Thought Bottle.

Because it can be used to defend against area spells, it's one of the two effects that can counter a Disjunction.

The item is in Complete Arcane and Magic of Faerun.

The Thought Bottle isn't too much different than prepaying for a True Ressurection spell. I suppose it could be more problematic if someone dies alot, since the 20k initial cost would quickly be recouped.

Disjunction is really the problem, not the Ring. Disjunction, in my opinion, is highly annoying and stupid as written. I've had parties that lost 700,000 GP worth of equipment to it, so I houseruled that it now acts like a Dispel check wherein the opponent gets 1+Caster Level instead of 11+Caster Level (so you still automatically dispel the spells of someone your level, but at least a level 17 wizard can't instantly destroy everything made by anyone ever).
