Rule of Cool and all, but this is pretty easy to defeat for the DM. The flintlock only provides enough force to make small pellets dangerous. As soon as the cannonball passes through the ring, its mass will go up hugely, meaning the force provided to a small pellet will barely move it any further.
The rogue invented a complicated cannonball dropping system.
Additionally, assuming the ring anti-magic field extends in all directions, the first shot would blow the end of the rifle off with the ring flying somewhere.
Also, do magic items retain their magical properties after leaving the feild? If so, it’s still a pea shooter.
This is a good question. Is the ring a "magic remover" or a "AoE magic suppressor"?
If its a supressor then this is a double edged item. If you're wearing it on your hand and get healing cast on you, your hand and whatever is near it doesn't get healed. This would be bad news because the instinct is to grab or hold wounds to stop bleeding. This would mean you can still bleed out of the cleric is pouring every bit of their mana into healing you.
If it’s a “magic remover” that would be a very powerful item. Boss has a magic sword? Touch it and now it’s not!
I would be very hesitant to try and grab the BBEGs sword with my hand. Even unmagicked it must still hurt like a bitch.
Otoh there must be a way to setup this without risking one's hand.
