Topic	What exactly do people think they'll be able to do with the Ring?LotR spoilers
The_Ivory_Man 02/18/18 3:23:01 PM #32:	GeneralKenobi85 posted... The Elves' rings were never influenced by Sauron. Elrond, Galadriel, and Gandalf were in possession of them throughout LOTR. They do take them off after Sauron is revealed to have made the One Ring, they just start wearing them later for some reason. ClunkerSlim posted... Its a plot hole with a bunch of fan-splaining. The fact is the ring seems pretty useless except for invisibility. Frodo sure couldnt control the other ring bearers. There seems to be a hundred other things in middle earth more powerful than the ring, like that undead ghost army for one. No it's not, other people can use the ring if they actually got hold of it like Galadraiel or Gandalf. But they will be corrupted by the ring in trying to use the abilities that it does have. Frodo is just some nobody from a town where they just smoke and eat food. So he doesn't know how to use it. evilpresident posted... I could be very wrong here but I remember reading that the Ring does different things for different kinds of people. Hobbits become invisible because they have an innate desire to be hidden. Humans become immortal (But not invincible) because they're afraid of death. And so on. It increases everything, hobbits are naturally sneaky to the point people lose track of them during fights (Witch King and Merry for example) But it turns everyone invisible. Dat_Cracka_Jax posted... DarkDragon400 posted... Does the ring make anyone invisible or just Frodo? It didn't seem to make Sauron invisible. Not sure. I know it does nothing to Tom bombadill Bombadill is above everyone, Tolkien meant to leave him unexplained but he's implied to be a personification of Middle Earth itself. Doom_Art posted... Like with Boromir, who says he wants to use it as a weapon against Sauron. Ditto for the other Gondor folks who stumble on it in Two Towers. Like as far as we see all it does it make you go invisible We see Sauron use it. All the rings grant immortality an increase in power and further magic. The ring whispers that it can make everything you want come true if you use it, and feeds desire for any of those. --- "Just because someone is killed doesn't mean they died" - Shojikan <cite>The_Ivory_Man posted [p:896321515] in What exact...
