This is very interesting.  I grepped thru all the hack 1.0.2 and 1.0.3
source files that we have but I can't find the word "dazzle".
Grepping on the word "adornment" (neglecting case) reaveals that while 
the ring is defined, it's never used in the code.
Does that mean the ring of adornment works in some versions but not all?
Strange ....
