Can someone explain what this thing does besides making the one who's wearing it invisible?
Why do people believe they can use it as a weapon or something?
How would they use it? I don't understand.

ONE RING TO RULE THEM ALL!
anyone get it the reference? name the movie if you do ;)
it contains the magical power of a demigod, it's just that manlets can't handle the power and turn invisible and eventually become fish eating doomers
It transports you to the spirit dimension or whatever. That is why they go invisible in the normal dimension and Frodo can see the nazgul differently with it on and gets magic stabbed but not really stabbed by them
Supposedly you could pull power from there if you were strong enough
dunno if this is head canon but I always assumed it just did that to Hobbits i.e. increased their natural sneakiness
it increases your power exponentially
so a hobbits power level is 0.2 so it makes your power level 0.4 which allows you to be invisible
if you are a human your base power level is 5.0 so your ring power level is 25.00
if you are gandalf your base power level is 100 so your ring power level is 10000.
the ring is worse the more powerful the being it finds itself to
.2 multiplied by itself is not .4
Isn’t that lion the witch and the wardrobe narnia movie?
>exponentially
you mean quadratically
also
Clerks 2
that's not the point you fucking loser
If you can turn invisible you can murder anyone who stands against you easily. Also if Sauron gets it, his power level jumps 1000x
It’s so sad how LoTR is an obvious ripoff of Harry Potter and World of Warcraft.
We can see doubling and quintupling in his numbers. Doesn’t necessarily have to be original multiplied by itself, just number doubled, tripled, quadrupled, quintupled, so on
Don’t take it semantically in the context of math, but how the word would be used to describe large increases by everyone who isn’t autistic
That doesn't make any sense.
How come 2x2=4 if .2x.2 isn't .4?
20 percent of 20 percent is 4 percent
2 sets of 2 gives you 4 units
>How would they use it? I don't understand.
See that chain it is attached to? You swing it from the chain and hit your enemies with it. Because it was forged in Mt. Doom it is indestructible. Imagine, a weapon that won't break. That's why everyone wants it, so they can swing it to victory.
headcanon and please stop spreading it. Some retard will always claim that on these threads.
But the chain would break.
>How would they use it?
they wouldnt.
>you can not wield it, none of us can
rather than slowly destroying the bearer, brainlets thought it would be just like levelling up stats.
Also it makes you live longer
For Sauron, it's a phylactery.
For everyone else, it's an eldritch evil artifact that drives them insane and makes them want to keep it, thus making it easier for Sauron's agents to find it.
>Why do people believe they can use it as a weapon or something?
Simply being in its presence is enough to instill these ideas of greatness in you.
This is all my armchair interpretation anyway.
The Ring is basically a piece of Sauron, most of his power, in fact. Only he's the one who could really make use of it and there's no definite answer on what would happen if he did. Magic in Tolkien is ambiguous like that. Sauron's old boss Morgoth did the same shit to the entire world, which is why evil exists and always will until the end.
