Dave? Hmmm... it seems to me that Stefan is correct.

How about this for a rule of thumb - The rings work in all ways AS IF they were actions, but are not in fact actions. They act entirely like actions, but their effects are not actions and they cannot be targeted/affected by things that target/affect actions.
