The history of the creation of the Rings of Power and its properties
Even in ancient times in Middle-earth there were ancient rings with different magical abilities. However, they were all just an attempt by the elves to test the strength of their skills and were significantly weaker than the Rings of Power. In all, there were about twenty powerful Rings of Power. The first three of them were created by powerful elves and symbolized three elements: fire, water and air. They carried in themselves good, although their power was directly connected with the Ring of Omnipotence and disappeared with his death, but since Sauron was not their creator, they did not obey the Main Ring.
In itself, the Supreme Ring of Power possessed the strength and will of its cruel creator. Moreover, it had its own will and could leave its temporary master. The only one to whom the ring obeyed unconditionally was Sauron. However, having absorbed the lion's share of his power, the Ring of Power became vital to his creator. All (except Sauron), who dared to put it on, made it invisible, and also gave an incredibly long life and power. In addition, the Ring of Omnipotence could suppress the will of most living creatures, turning them into their own slaves. People especially succumbed to the Ring. However, the hobbits had a certain "immunity" to the will of the Ring, and they could resist it for a long time.
