Magical Properties:
When Culbert’s Ring is put on, the user begins to see and meet new, beautiful people of the opposite sex. The wearer and new person eventually fall in love and the ring is used as a symbol for their “wedding”. But no-one else sees the spouse, because it isn’t there. Eventually, the wearer comes to a point where they love their “spouse” so much that they never leave the illusion’s side and starve to death or die of some other cause.

Then start on the character when he/she is alone and start having secret rendevous with the 'future spouse.' The ring is tricky and presses the secret aspect so the other characters may become suspicious and do what they do best. Ruin a good love life and save a friend.
Great subtle side theme that can mix it up a little and keep the players guessing.

...Personally, I'd like to know where he got the ring, and how it was made.

Then, couple those effects with the delusions/ illusions. The new flame is quite a cook, making food that tastes like they had when they were kids, even occasionaly making thier favorites. These meals may make them feel better as well, but they are just another part of the illusion and the character isn't actually eating anything at all.
With everything tasting great and minor healing properties, the players will be hard pressed to notice anything amiss.

The pcs need to save someone affected by this ring without hurting him, though he likely would have no such restriction.
