All of the rings allow you to dominate their respective elemental for 2 charges alongside a minor boon.
Slaying an elemental of the ring’s corresponding type while attuned to it upgrades it.
You don’t need to deliver the killing blow; it specifies you “help” slay the monster to unlock the bonus powers.
You retain the ability to cast Dominate Monster with the ring after it upgrades.
