Analysis
The Heirloom Ring is an excellent choice for any Adept that uses Mercury-based abilities on a regular basis. Though the Ring's equivalent of a free Pure Ply is beneficial, it should be used sparingly, as the ring loses all benefits if it breaks. Because it is a ring, its power can be stacked with the armor the Adept has. For example, if the Heirloom Ring is combined with the Triton's Ward, the combined boosts can increase an Adept's Mercury Power and Mercury Resistance to near maximum. For a Mercury Adept like Rief, this doubles the power of his Wish Psynergy series], so that it is near impossible for any opponent to fell a party member. Amiti, who by game's end will wields at least two weapons with powerful Mercury-based Unleashes, also benefits, due to the increase in power affecting the strength of his Unleashes.
