I don't think he was able to do more with it than simply direct with 
it. Remember, Marvolo's ring used to be on one of the dead fingers, 
and, the hand was dead/dying b/c it was a blood sacrifice to the 
door to access that sinister lake the Inferi were kept in.

And to think, Dumbledore drank that nasty green potion to get to a 
FAKE Horcrux? Lesson: Drinking anything green USUALLY isn't a good 
thing.
