ARE YOU LOOKING FOR THE [Ring] OF [Thorns]?

Spamton

The Thorn Ring is a weapon Noelle can equip that is only obtainable while currently on the Snowgrave Route. It gives +14 AT, +12 Magic, and Trance. It cannot be sold and is the most expensive item in the game (not counting KeyGen's fluctuating prices and the Freeze Ring which is not actually purchased).

This ring halves the TP cost of Noelle's IceShock and SnowGrave spells, and is required to cast the latter due to its otherwise unattainable 200% TP cost. During combat, it gradually reduces Noelle's HP down to one third (rounded down) of her maximum HP, but cannot decrease it any lower. In its only usable fight (against Berdly), this is 55 HP. When equipped to Noelle, her title changes to "Ice Trancer" with the description "Receives pain to become stronger."

On the Snowgrave Route, once Noelle has frozen all enemies before the Berdly encounter, the party can buy the ring from Spamton in the dumpster to the left of the two long roads for 1997 Kromer (equivalent to 1997 Dark Dollars). Spamton says that the ring might "sting" and that the party will regret the purchase for the rest of their life. He refers to this item as his [Commemorative Ring]. This item is required to continue on the Snowgrave Route, as SnowGrave cannot be cast without it.

If the ring is not equipped to Noelle when she leaves (requiring that the Snowgrave Route be aborted at Berdly), it can be retained in the inventory. In Castle Town, this item can be fused with the Pure Crystal to create the Twisted Sword. However, the Pure Crystal is not currently obtainable, so the Twisted Sword is not either.
