A. +2 damage on physical missile attacks

(Or just combine A and B into one effect by giving +2 to ranged)

C. May re-cast a level 0 damage or healing spell just cast as a free action (1/room)

These are basically UR power level right? Ring of the Drake for the first two and C is a big power step up from ring of the Norns.

Ring of Roaring exists at R-completion, so +2 missile damage isn't out of line. Retype from Sonic to Shock or some such.

For the first two, I don't agree they are UR level effects.

Ring of the Drake: +2 to melee, and missile, and spell, and shurikens get returning, and participates in a legendary transmute path is a UR effect.

+3 to missile and +3 to melee damage are also UR effects.

+2 to missile, or +2 to spell is less.

There is a +2 ranged damage rare charm already (completion).

The following damage boosting already exist at the following rarities:

At uncommon:
+1 to melee and spell at uncommon, with drawback that you can only wear C/UC/R Rings
+1 to FoB attacks
+2 to two handed melee
+1 to physical ranged attacks (completion)

At rare:
+3 to two handed melee
+2 to physical ranged attacks (completion)
+1 to melee and heal 1 hp on hit

Based on that I think +2 to physical ranged, or +2 to spell, is acceptable at rare. There's a +1 spell damage earcuff at uncommon for crying out loud. Moving from Ear to Ring and Uncommon to Rare isn't worth +1 damage?

C is ring of the norns with a drawback: damage and healing spells only, and a bonus: cast as a spell. Maybe that's too much.

As an alternative, make a watered down, non-stackable, Ring of Quick Blessing for all casters:

May cast 0th-level damage and healing spells as free actions (5/game) ; May not Equip Ring of Quick Blessing.

I put a lot of quarters in that game.

Skeleton Key
Any class
May consume to open one Rogue box that hasn't been opened. (Maybe limit to just being able to get the clue?)

Treasure Map
Consume at start of adventure to increase treasure draws of each party member by 1 if they have less than 10 treasure draws. Limited to one per party/run. Probably WAY too powerful for the rare slot, but something exciting to hit as your pre-run 10-pack rare.

Mad Martin's Map
1 use, redeem at start, 1/party
At end of adventure, flip Mad Martin's Doubloon. If heads, all party members get 1 additional treasure draw.
