how much power is in the ring magnus give alec?

first, a little revisit to trsom

it's shown from scenes like this in the books that despite having the power to bring forward incapable feats or destruction, magnus doesn't want to use it, like at all. we get brief instances in the past where he used it and how much it affected him (killing his stepfather, creating earthquakes when he was upset). the status quo is set, magnus lightwood-bane and his immensely frightening, possibly corruptive magic will never accept each other's friend request again.

but then, there's this scene

the kind of power comes from the very heart of hell. we know warlocks are offsprings of demons, so it's safe to assume their heritage will somewhat show its influence in their magic. but this isn't your garden variety charm. from what the seelie girl trying to convey here, the ring literally reeks of magic from the deepest, most unpredictable and intimidating part of existence.

does alec know he's carrying a piece of magnus too-dangerous-to-not-be-unsealed-magic around him every day? and that there's no end magnus wouldn't go to, even if it's the part of himself he's terrified of, to keep alec safe?

“Stop telling me to let you go,” said Alec. “I will never listen. I want to be with you. I never wanted anything more in my life. If you fall, I want to fall with you.”

Alec in The Red Scrolls Of Magic

Alec looked stricken. “We’ll die together,” he said. “Let me stay at least, with you.” “You have to go back. You have to go back to the world.” “I don’t want the world. I want you,” Alec said, and Magnus closed his eyes, as if the words almost hurt.

Alec in The City of Heavenly Fire

Before Shinyun could act, though, Alec was moving. He was reaching out, and he was wrapping his hand around the blade of the Svefnthorn, and he was grimacing with effort and resolve, and he was thrusting the Svefnthorn into his own chest, piercing his own heart. From where he knelt, Magnus could see the thorn run all the way through him, emerge through his back, and remain there. Alec’s eyes were still open, still wide, still staring right at Magnus.

Alec in The Lost Book Of The White

Bonus:

“Magnus Bane was one of the first great tragedies,” said Livvy as if she were reciting an old story everyone knew. “Bane realized he was turning into a demon. He begged his boyfriend, Alexander Lightwood, to kill him. Alec did, and then turned the sword on himself. Their bodies were found together in the ruins of New York.”

Alec in Thule (Queen of Air and Darkness)

These parallels are truly heartbreaking.

Idc what you say, but that one scene from Ghosts of the Shadow Market where the Leader of the Shadow Market in Spain says that the power in Alec's ring comes from the heart of hell and Alec proudly says "𝘐 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘰𝘧 𝘱𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘴 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮. 𝘐'𝘮 𝘈𝘭𝘦𝘤 𝘓𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵𝘸𝘰𝘰𝘥. 𝘔𝘢𝘨𝘯𝘶𝘴 𝘉𝘢𝘯𝘦 𝘮𝘢𝘥𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘮𝘦.", will always make me feel the proudest of Malec and the fact that they are now married with two kids. I will cry-

After the events in tlbotw, Ragnor got his phone back. When he opened it, he received all the messages that Raphael left him in Trsom and throughout tmi, thinking that Ragnor was dead, and during all this time the one who is really dead was Raphael

Alec remembered kissing Magnus, under the eyes of the Angel and everyone he loved, and also hundreds of complete strangers. His hands had been shaking. He’d been so scared to do it, but more scared that he would lose Magnus, that one of them might die without Magnus ever knowing how Alec felt about him.
