Lotus Ring

The Equipment that gives back its mana in a lump sum. Most auras and equipment ask you to sink resources into a creature and hope it survives; this one bolts a mana engine onto whatever it touches, then hands you an escape hatch that turns the whole package back into fuel. The +3/+3 and vigilance are the sweetener, but the load-bearing clause is the ability granted to the equipped creature: tap and sacrifice it to add three mana of one color. That reframes the creature as a ritual you can cash in at instant speed on your terms, and because the ability lives on the creature rather than the Equipment, the Ring survives the sacrifice and moves on to the next body. Indestructibility keeps it off the board-wipe casualty list, so the reusable half is genuinely permanent while the disposable half regenerates every time you find a new host. The tension it resolves is the classic equipment problem of overcommitting: sink three mana to equip, three more to re-equip after a removal spell, and you have bled tempo for a fragile beater. The Lotus half answers that by letting the beater pay you back, converting a stalled attacker into a mana burst that can float a spell out of nowhere. It is less a combat upgrade than a mana battery wearing a sword, and it rewards decks that want a creature and a Black Lotus in the same slot without committing to either full time.
