The Wizard clearly didn't get a lot of visitors, so I tried to look interested as he showed me a bunch of his devices. I don't think he would have noticed either way, until he showed me a simple silver ring with a pearl on it.
"And this is my Ring of Truth. If you wear it and lie, it glows."
I paused.
"Is that based on intent or fact?"
"What do you mean?"
"If I think I'm lying, but I'm not...?"
"It doesn't glow."
I put it on.
"My wife isn't cheating on me."
I didn't like the answer.
