[QUOTE="Celebrim, post: 330144, member: 4937"] The ring does bestow abilities based on the individual race and even the individual itself since it acts as a multiplier of whatever power is native to you. But invisibility is not one of those powers. In fact, the 'uncontrolled' 'invisibility' is a more of a side effect of the rings evil when worn by mortals in particular and everyone in general. When wearing the one ring you are moved slightly into the 'wraith world' and thus become invisible to things that cannot see fully into it. Note that it is actually not full invisibility. Even in the Hobbit, JRRT notes that very bright lights cause you to cast shadows. Sauron does not automatically become invisible, though, since he is master of the ring he might be able to should he wish to. On the other hand, JRRT himself waivered about the exact nature of the invisibility. And from the above explanation, it is not clear whether the ring actually made you invisible to someone like Glorfindel or Galadriel and had seen the light of Aman and were a denizen of both worlds yourself, or whether they would become invisible donning the ring, etc. Certainly elves and other immortals wouldn't 'fade', which Sep correctly describes.
