So, I went back and researched this - and yep, according to both AM5th and HP, if you're not the caster you do need some sort of supernatural way to sense the tunnel if you want to use it (Just Per+Magic Theory doesn't cut it) - however, both writeups are also clear that anyone who can perceive the tunnel can use it to cast, in either direction. So I don't think there would be any need for any additional modifications.
Conceivably, the spell itself could have an imaginem requirement, to let folks know EXACTALLY where it is at the user's end - unless the "need to perceive it with magic" is necessary due to the "magic" part, and not just the "perceive" it part. In which case: no, you need to perceive it with magic in order to use magic on it.
Also, as Lamech mentioned, you could use a Taste-based effect to lick the ring (Taste the aura of magic: InVi 10: Base 5, Range: Taste, Duration: Diam +1), although a touch based one (InVi 15) would probably be more useful. Although "kissing the ring" to use it does have a certain flare to it...
So while this isn't an issue for the character that developed these rings in the game I play in (ReVi expert, who has Sight of the Active Magics running whenever he's doing stuff like this), it does pose an additional level of study for the other characters who may want to use this.
Of course, interestingly enough, it also places a level of protection for whoever is using it - the tunnel links the caster to the target, not those who use the tunnel. So anyone who casts back through the tunnel will hit the ring, not the magus. To affect the magus, they'd have to use a Group or Room effect (as per the Intangible Assassian chapter - to affect anyone touching the caster, you need to use Group). Which may not help much vs. a pillum of Flame, but will certainly protect against, say, Corpus or mentem effects.
