Power Battery and Ring Every spectral lantern has a power ring which is the focus and source of their power, and a power battery which recharges their ring. It is generally assumed that a spectral lantern recharges their ring each day. This requires eight hours of rest, but takes only as long as it takes for them to recite their oath. Each Corp has it's own official oath, but individual lanterns frequently have custom oaths, tailored to their race (blackest night and brightest day is meaningless to a blind race) or personal experiences (different things matter to different people). The Power Battery is almost always a literal lantern that holds the magic energy of the emotion which powers a Lantern. The main exception is Indigo Lanterns' Power Battery Staves. These power batteries are actual weapons, with the statistics of quarterstaves.
The ring of a Spectral Lantern possesses a magical link to the parent lantern of it's spectrum which acts as a magical database and head quarters for all spectrum warriors who wield its light.
Simply possessing and wearing a power ring gives it's wearer basic access to the Lantern sphere, and the spectrum sphere appropriate to it's colour. The wearer is also constantly under the effects of a Comprehend Languages effect, and, when consulting the ring's database, gains a +6 competence bonus to any skill made to know something (Knowledges, Spellcraft, etc.), but takes a standard action.
Finally, the rings possess powerful scanning capabilities, and allow their wearer's to use a detect effect at will, mimicking any spell with detect in the name (except for Detect Thoughts), or detecting for substances/phenomenon/etc. in a manner similar to the closest detect spell. Wielders of the Black Light of Death do not have this ability, and instead constantly function as if under the effects of Arcane Sight cast by a wizard of their level, with the ability to also discern the Light Spectrums (Rage/Greed/Fear/Will/Hope/Compassion/Love) dominant within them at the moment.
Arsenal of Light Spectral lanterns have the ability to create weapons from the light of their rings. If they form a ranged weapon, they fire a projectile-shaped ray from their rings. The ray is coloured appropriately for their light (green for will, yellow for fear, etc.) and is a ranged touch attack. If they form a melee weapon, they may choose to have it attack at their direction in the air, or may hold it in their hand, wielding it as a normal weapon. The weapon is a melee touch attack and may add a strength bonus as appropriate to the weapon to their damage if they hold it. Arsenal of Light weapons deal 1d6 per class level.
Armoured in Light Spectral lanterns are constantly protected by a thin shell of their light. This gives them an armour bonus equal to their character level. If the spectral lantern has an armour bonus (wearing actual armour, is affected by Mage Armour) this ability becomes an enhancement bonus equal to half the Lantern's character level to that armour bonus. As a side effect of this power, spectral lantern may also create clothing for themselves from their power. It has no special abilities, but will generally not remain dirty or damaged for long, as you need only a moment to concentrate and reform them. The clothing will always incorporate the colour of the spectral lantern's light in a large way, but can generally include other colours without difficulty.
Light Touch A spectral lantern may use the power from their ring to manipulate objects at a range. Specifically they may use Greater Mage Hand at will.
Advanced Lantern Sphere At second level, the spectral lantern gains Advanced access to the Lantern Sphere. This access becomes Expert at fifth level.
Levitate A 2nd Level spectral lantern gains the ability to Levitate at will as the spell, as cast by a sorcerer of his level.
Flight A 3rd level Lantern gains the ability to fly, at will, as the spell cast by a sorcerer of his level.
Advanced Spectrum Sphere At fourth level a lantern gains Advanced access to one spectrum sphere of their choice, (always matching the colour of ring they wear). This also determines the colour all their effects are, and their full class name. A spectral lantern who chooses Willpower is a Spectral Lantern of the Green Light of Will, Fear is Yellow, Rage is Red, Hope is Blue, Compassion is Indigo, Love is Violet, Greed is Orange, Death is Black. This access becomes Expert at seventh level.
Deputize Lantern A 6th level Lantern may, in times of great need, bestow the basic abilities of his class on another who embodies the light he serves. This may be done at will, but only one Deputy may be made and exist at a time, the deputization lasts until the end of the encounter it was initiated for. A Deputy gains the first and second level class abilities of a Lantern of the appropriate type, but not HD, BAB, Saves, or any other benefit of gaining HD.

The Green Light of Will
[spoiler]"In brightest day, in blackest night, no evil shall escape my sight. Let those who worship evil's might, beware my power-- Green Lantern's Light!"
Granted Power: If you successfully make a Will save that would normally reduce an ability's effect, you instead suffer no effect, on a failed save, you suffer the reduced effect.
1: Minor Creation (Concentration duration, objects composed of green force)
3: Deflection Field (as the power)

[/spoiler]
The Red Light of Rage
[spoiler]"With Blood and Rage of Crimson Red, Ripped from a corpse so freshly dead, Together with our Hellish Hate, We'll burn you all-- That is your fate!"
Granted Power: Your blood is converted to burning plasma. It can be spat out as a ranged touch attack, once every 1d4+1 rounds, less one round per level of access (Basic 1/1d4 rounds, Advanced 1/1d4-1, Expert 1/1d4-2). It deals 1d6/2 Character Levels hellfire damage, which is capable of damaging force effects, such as the protective auras of Lanterns.

7: Wall of Fire
9: Haste

15: Incendiary Cloud
17: Internal Fire
19: Meteor Swarm
Note: Red lanterns typically do little more than burn their opponents or rip into them with the messiest option they have available to them. A Red Lantern must make a concentration check (DC 10+Character Level), everytime he wishes to do something other than use one of his Rage Sphere spell like abilities, his plasma blood breath weapon, or a full attack action against his nearest opponent (or move to the nearest opponent and attack once if it is cannot attack an opponent). A Red Lantern may make a DC 20+Character Level Concentration check at the beginning of each day to be in complete control of his actions for the whole day.
Red Lanterns' blood is replaced with a burning plasma, and their entire circulatory system is rerouted to be regulated by the ring. As such, removal of their heart is, at most, incapacitating, and Red Lanterns have a 50% chance to ignore critical hits made by anyone who does not have at least 6 ranks of Knowledge the Planes.
If the ring is ever removed however, the Red Lantern will die.[/spoiler]
