'''Lightning rings''' are rare items, similar to [[Water_ring|water]], [[Ice_ring|ice]], [[Fire ring|fire]] rings, that allow one to summon a ''writhing COLOR spark'' that can be played with. Available colors noted include '''red''', '''orange''', '''yellow''', '''green''', '''blue''', '''purple''', '''brown''', '''black''', and '''white'''. These colors periodically shift to various hues of its assigned color. Due to its elemental nature, the spark will draw energy from its handler, generally about 1 mana per instance.

==Analyze==
<pre{{log2}}>
You analyze your matte eahnor band and sense that the creator has provided the following information:
This matte eahnor band is a lightning ring that will create sparks. When it runs out of charges it can be recharged by casting a lightning-based spell at it. RUB it to activate, and GAZE at it to see if it's charged.


You get no sense of whether or not the band may be further lightened.
