The One Ring is widely known for being one of if not the most powerful object on Middle Earth. However, we never really got a glimpse at its true power. When worn by a mortal the Ring distorted the perceptions of those around it. For example, by making the wearer invisible or projecting powerful illusions on the wearer's enemies. The ring also enhanced the skills and senses of the wearer, with Frodo able to see for miles while wearing it. The full potential of the ring could only be reached by a being on Sauron’s power level, although it is not entirely known what could be achieved by such a being in possession of the One Ring. Perhaps its greatest power was its ability to dominate the wills of others to Sauron's cause, although the Dwarves and Elves proved resistant to the dark lords mental influence.
