A topic from AEG's L5R CCG Rules forum, copied for Oracle of the Void from a copy of the forum saved in October 2015, so pages it didn't save are missing. Players' names are left out; the rules officials are named. Rulings are as they stood on these dates; later rulings, the rulebooks and the Rules Archive may differ.

May i use ring of earth as an interrupt to any action (even during the action phase?) I ask this because my opponent who is using the shadowed estate named the ring of earth during the action phase. Having means to straighten the ring, i wish to use it during the action phase so that the next time i use it during battle, its effect wont get negated.

Yes. Ring of Earth's ability does not begin with If, so you are not limited on when you can take it.
