I apologize if this question has been answered on the list already.

"Protection" is not "immunity".  You are just less likely to lose items
when you have this ring, not immune from loss.

Acid spheres may only be destroyed by physical assault or by the power of
a god, as far as I know.

Which means that arrows and magic bullets (which have a physical attack),
and possibly the cause harm suite of cleric spells will work.
