Hello guys!

I've noticed that the item description of the orange charred ring is completely different between the English and the German version of the game, thus telling two different stories about the lore behind the ring.

So, according to the English description of the item the orange charred ring has been given to Ceaseless Discharge by his witch sisters, probably to ease his pain from his ever-burning sores. He dropped it however, thus the Centipede Demon was born from it.

However, the German description of the exactly same item tells a completely different story. It's description says translated:

'''This ring belonged once to the pyromancer Carmina, the most talented disciple of Salaman, the master of pyromancy. The orange-coloured gem is severely charred, yet still contains Carmina's powers.It reduces the damage of lava and grants its wearer the fire-kick-attack.'''

Considering this I'm quite confused. The differences between both texts are too striking to be mere translation errors. Does anybody know what the original japanese item description says about the ring?

Personally I'd take the English version as official canon, but then I wonder where the German text comes from. Any theories?
