Power Rings - How do?

[Thaal Sinestro]

I wouldn't say all those melee weapons have the same function. An axe has all its power focused in a single area. A massive sword is more difficult to wield, but has a much bigger range. That's the difference. If you were changing a longsword to a katana, I'd probably be inclined not to care. Illusory shapeshifting won't let you change the range of a weapon. Similarly, a beam is functionally different to a bullet. If you're just using different types of guns which fire the same projectile, then that's fine.

They weigh the same and work the same because they are both just the creation of the wielder. Again, the different between a hard-light axe and a hard-light katana and a hard-light mace is what they look like. They inflict damage based off of the wielder's proficiency with the ring. Same thing goes for the the guns, they all fire the same kind of projectile: hard light. They move at the same speed, they hit equally hard. They are functionally the same.
