As we are moving into Frodo and Gandalf's conversation, there is a question I have always had that I think we can start discussing (though the answer I'm sure won't come until later - exactly what powers does the Ring grant? In other words, if Sauron were to retrieve the Ring, what would he suddenly be able to do that he couldn't do without it?
We know that the Ring grants power according to the person who is weilding it. In the hands of a hobbit (Frodo, Bilbo, Gollum, etc.) it turns them invisible and makes them see into the shadow/wraith world. We will learn other things later on about power to command others (in The Taming of Smeagol). The movies (I know, I know) suggest that Sauron uses it to project force or something.
I don't want to think of it in "D&D" terms (like it's a +5 Ring of Power), but this is just something I think we should keep in mind as we go on.
