A new magic item that I find particularly interesting is the ring of
spell holding(from the dragon magazine). Essentially, you cast a spell
on yourself and put the ring on. It causes the spell to last until the
ring is removed. Thus you can have "permanent" true seeing or globes
of invulnerability. This seems too awesome at first but when you consider
that you have to be able to cast the spell yourself and that it only works
for one spell at a time it seems very reasonable. Also, its almost always
used for informative or defensive spells which means it adds to the game
by making it move along faster. Also it uses up one of the two rings a 
player can use.
