ring of power
Authority-granting band
A ring of power is a magical ring that grants its wearer supernatural abilities, dominion over others, or enhanced strength—most famously in Tolkien's Middle-earth, where the One Ring rules all others.
The phrase now applies broadly to any object or position conferring extraordinary control: Social media has become a ring of power for influencers.
The plural rings of power appears in fantasy contexts where multiple such artifacts exist.
