[edit] Power?

In the movies, the One Ring is wielded by Sauron, granting him great powers of force, but for other ring-bearers, such as Frodo and Bilbo, it grants them nothing more than long life and invisibility. Can anyone explain this for me?StarWarsDude 02:38, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

I think it grants power equal to the "measure" of the user. So, a powerful being gains more from it. Galadriel said something similar (it would make her a powerful sorcerer, which it obviously wouldn't do for Frodo). PsiSeveredHead 12:47, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

I agree SeveredHead, the reason Bilbo and Frodo didn't have such powers as Sauron was because, firstly, they didn't have the powers required and because they didn't try to learn.
