I found a Ring of Fireball in our last session and am attempting to create it as a homebrew item. I think I've got the item itself set up pretty well (item > ring, has 1 charge per long rest, rare, has Fireball spell, requires attunement), but once I've got it in my Inventory, casting Fireball from this ring is not an option under my Actions. For example, I also have a homebrewed Staff of Fire Bolt, which shows up in the Actions both as a quarterstaff and as the Fire Bolt cantrip with its 3 charges. When I have the ring equipped and attuned, Fireball does show in Spells - which is obviously good and intended - but is there any way to get it to also show up under Actions?
There is currently no way for an item to have any actions.
Is there any workaround I could do? I considered setting the ring up as a weapon instead - would that work? Though then it would also show that weapon's attack as an Action, which wouldn't be ideal.

If I have an item that has a special function that can't be duplicated in the standard item homebrew, I make a feat for any extra actions the item may do. Another alternative would be a custom action.

I was going to ask how to make a Custom Action, but then I found it so I'll poke around in that for a bit - thanks!
