Invisibility

[Menelvagor]

I've been trying to ponder this out.

Did the ring make Sauron invisible like all the other ring bearers? Probably not, seeing as he could control it, though he could probably have used the ring to make himself invisible if he wanted too. Also, it would be very unlikely that he was invisible during the fight with Isildur, because that would put the cutting off of the ring as pure chance, which seems unlikely. So, Sauron was not involuntarily invisible (that sounds odd) when he wore the ring, why were the other ringbearers? Either they didn't have enough power innately to begin with to force the ring to not make them invisible (which implys that, for some unknown reason, the ring automaticly made its bearer invisible unless commanded otherwise) or that the ring chose to make the bearer invisible. Or it is a combinartion of the two, the ring chose to make you invisible unless you had enough power of your own to command it otherwise. If this is so then my question is, why?

The other aspect of it is, that turning invisible was just a side effect of entering the wraith world. You left the world of visible light and entered the shadowy evil one. This would of course aid the servents of the dark lord searching for the ring. It is less evident, though, early after the ring was lost, presumably because Sauron was searching less eagerly for it.

So then, the result we get is that, the ring, seeking to return to Sauron, brought whomever wore it into the wraith world so that Sauron's servents, looking for it, could find it more easily, but that, one wearing the ring was not necessarily in the wraith world, and that, if they mastered the ring, they could enter and leave it freely.

Did that make sense to anyone? (it was kind of stream of contiousness, I know...) Any other thoughts on this peculiar aspect of the Ring?
