** The One Ring was personally crafted by Sauron to give him dominion over all other rings of power, and control their wielders. This mostly failed because the elves immediately detected the attack and Sauron could not properly control the dwarves. Its most prominent effect on the one who wears it is invisibility; however, it also works very hard to corrupt the wielder. The One Ring proved a double-edged sword, as it effectively became a SoulJar for Sauron: if he gets it back he can be made whole, but if it's destroyed, he'll fade to nothingness. Its negative effects are slow-acting but tend to cause paranoia, obsessive protectiveness of the ring, and physical mutation of the user into a near-hairless crawling wretch, although this takes a substantial amount of time based on its four bearers (Isildur, Gollum, Bilbo, Frodo).
