DESCRIPTION
Dark energy traps are useful things, albeit somewhat misnamed. They are a Dark Side technique that physically traps and confines a being.
Azel Moran's trap rings serve two purposes, both connected to the dark energy trap technique. A trap ring is a useful focus for creating a dark energy trap proportionate to the wearer's strength and relevant skill. It is also a one-finger 'knuck' or impact weapon, imbued with a milder version of the dark energy trap technique. The more times the ring impacts a target, the more the dark side works to slow the target. Repeated impacts can even paralyze for a time.
