I am not sure anyone cares about this, but I'd like to report my findings:
When wearing a Ring of Kings, your character can gain incredible increases in maximum HP by allowing wraiths to attack you and not fighting back.
On floor 17, I encountered 3 wraiths. I allowed them to attack me, and only hit the "sleep" button, until my HP were down to 30 or so, after which I killed them.
Each time the "growing skull" animation appeared, my XP dropped to 2561 (I was at Spartan level at the time) but my Max. HP increased, usually by 3-4 points. This way, I went from 130 HP to 175 HP.
I should mention that a couple of times, the "growing skull" animation decreased my maximum HP by 1 or 2 points. But 9 times out of 10, the Max. HP went up - and once it increased by 9, from 134 to 143.

Re: Confirmed Ability of Ring of Kings
You don't need to be wearing the Ring Of Kings for Wraiths to have this effect. I have done the same thing wearing no rings and while I would get bumped down in exp my max hit points usually increased after killing the wraith and re-levelling.
Re: Confirmed Ability of Ring of Kings
Yeah, with Ring of Kings when the wraith "hits" you with the skull icon, it increases your HP instead of decreasing. I just sit there and hit sleep while they hit me until I get a skull, and my max hp increases. Try it with Shiren ^-^
