Okay, gather round, kids. Time for Emotional Spectrum 101 with Professor Jordan.
Green is willpower. It's at the middle of the spectrum, so green rings have the least influence on the wielder's mental state. You can do a lot with them if you want it badly enough, but you have to have exceptional willpower to use them well. And...I'm not sure if the ones these guys brought along still have the yellow problem or not, I'll have to talk to Kilowog.
One step out, you see a little more influence on your mental state.
Yellow runs off of fear. That'd be why their constructs tend towards the creepy.
Blue is hope. They don't do a lot on their own, but they can supercharge greens, and do some pretty crazy stuff if there are enough people hoping for it. I saw Saint Walker and Warth turn a dying star's clock back billions of years with the hope of the system's inhabitants.
Moving outward again - mental influence gets a little stronger. Indigos are compassion; they can teleport and mimic the abilities of other rings. Not sure if there's much more to it than that; they were the last ones to the party back home, so I don't have as much experience dealing with them.
We haven't seen orange here, but that's avarice. There's just one. [ A beat, almost an afterthought - ] Usually. They kind of eat their own, with the whole avarice thing. [ Another beat. ] ...I mean that figuratively, but Larfleeze has some pretty weird taste in food. Who knows.
Anyway, on the outside, you've got the ones that have the strongest effect on their users. Red is rage. Most of them are in mindless berserker mode. That stuff they're spitting is their own blood, which is fiery and continues burning even in vacuum. Don't get hit. Do not get hit.
Violet is love. They...well. They can get a little brainwashy.
I've used all of these, even if it was only briefly. Except indigo and violet, but I've fought alongside indigo and both alongside and against violet. So if anyone has trouble with them, there's a good chance I can help you out.
