Manipulation: You can telekinetically control your constructs within a 30 ft radius of you.

Weapon Constructs: You are proficient with any weapon you form using your power ring. These follow the rules for Energy Construct Weapons.

If someone attempts to steal your ring, it becomes inert until you reclaim it.
