One thing I've picked up from the Sage Advice segments on the DragonTalk podcast is that they're very specific about when they say to duplicate a spell versus when they repeat the function of the spell (in part or in full). | |

The spell specifically calls out that it prevents damage from contact with otherwise dangerous substances, but the ring doesn't. The ring just says you don't fall in. | |
