More precisely, a ring like the one shown here, which looks to have four
different sides but actually has only two (or even one), can be made for real.
It would, however, look different from the Mage Ring. The Moebius ring could
easily lie flat on a table, whereas that is not so easy for the Mage Ring.
Forcing this would probably require a big hammer wielded, for example, by Gr'hul
the Ghul.

I would love to see that. It would be interesting to see both the similarities
and differences.
