Green Lantern Ring

The Green Lantern ring is considered by some to be one of the most powerful weapons in the known universe. Depending on the skill and willpower of the wearer, it can do almost anything. The current rings are based of off the one given to Kyle Rayner.

The rings use Oan energy, which in most cases takes the form of green light. There is a known 'Lantern' of a blind race who instead perceives it as the sound "F-Sharp" and whose 'ring' is actually a bell.


 * The ring can be used to fire blasts of Oan energy or create weapons such as projectiles of them. If the user wishes, the energy can be altered, such as a heat blast.


 * The ring can create various forcefields of various sizes and shapes to protect the wearer and others around him. They will automatically form a protective aura under certain conditions, such as going into space, even if the wearer is unconscious.


 * The ring can form constructs of Oan energy. Virtually anything can be created depending on the user. If simulating a being, the user can direct the construct. Feedback occurs if a construct is destroyed, but this is usually a minor issue.


 * The ring can absorb and store most other energies. However, doing so does not replenish the normal store of energy the ring has. A ring that needs recharging but contained a store of electricity could only discharge that electricity.


 * The ring allows the user to fly at incredible speeds. The ring also enables the user to use wormholes and space warps to further cut down travel time in space. Oa, which is rumored to be at the center of the known universe, is said to be able to be reached by a Green Lantern in only a few days of space warp travel. A protective field helps guard against friction while in atmospheres and allows safe travel while in space.


 * The ring has also been used for teleportation and time travel.


 * The ring has the ability to heal physical injuries and illness depending on the knowledge and skill or the wearer.


 * The ring has a wide range of detection abilities. Most normal electromagnetic phenomena are within the range of the ring, including radio, television, infrared, ultraviolet, and high frequency band communications. The ring can also be used to record or playback events.


 * The rings can function as references for their users, having the vast knowledge of the Oans to draw upon as well as mission recordings and trainings. With the Corps restarting, it is unknown how much of the old data remains.


 * The ring allows for translation as long as the medium for communication can be duplicated by the ring and the wearer is aware that communication is being attempted. However, this ability seems less effective since the restoration; it is possible that not all the data was recovered.


 * Other known effects include duplicating themselves, containing various items in a pocket dimension,


 * The rings have been programmed. They are coded to the wearer to make them unusable if stolen. The ring will refuse to take an action that would kill a being unless they are on Oa or with permission.


 * The rings retain a charge until they run out of power. This variability ensures that the wearer takes great effort to keep it charged.


 * Drug use, neural interference, vertigo or other forms of mental incapacitation can render the wearer unable to use their ring.


 * Formerly, the rings were unable to directly affect yellow. Now, a wearer can if they can 'accept fear', which is personified by the color yellow.


 * Formerly, the rings needed to be charged after a period of 24 hours, regardless of how often it was used.
