>>216364666Keep in mind it was part of a larger plan:>make 18 Rings of Power, give them away to powerful Elves,>create a Master Ring in secret, binding the lesser ones,>do that to secretly control several powerful Elvish kingdoms from behind the scenes,This is why he poured so much of himself into the One Ring. He didn't anticipate his plans being sniffed out, as well as the fact the aforementioned Elves would sense the influence of the One Ring as soon as Sauron put it on.His arrogance became his undoing.
>>216364666It's called a phylacteryIt's a nearly indestructible item that makes sure he can reincarnate if he gets killedWorth the debuff to gain extra lives
>>216364705>plans being sniffed out,How did they anyway, I haven't read the books
>>216364736Retard, he doesn't need a phylactery. He's Maya, a literal spirit. He can take on whatever form he wishes, and his previous shells have been destroyed at least twice.Which is also the plot hole of the LOTR trilogy - Saruman will simply take on another form and come back to Middle-Earth.

>>216364666ok satan
>>216364666didnt he make a whole set of rings to fuck with who ever could oppose him?its like 5d chess move
>250 iq>sticks a metal rod up your asshole>250 iq
>>216364795Nah. Everytime he reincarnates, he gets weaker. Also, by the Third Age, he could only assume corporal form if he has the Ring due to being weakened. After the Ring is destroyed, he can no longer reincarnate in Middle Earth but "Heaven" won't take him back either. So he ceased to exist.
>>216364784Elves are practically omniscient dickheads who are fucking useless.Except Mirkwood elves. Those niggas are tight.
>>216365668many such cases!
>>216365712>Nah. Everytime he reincarnates, he gets weaker.He doesn't. It's just that after the sinking of Numenor he was unable to take on a fair form due to how much evil he caused.>Also, by the Third Age, he could only assume corporal form if he has the Ring due to being weakened.Completely untrue. He has a physical form in the Third Age, you just never see it because he's a scheming coward hiding out in his fortress by that point. He doesn't want an Isildur 2.0 happening.>After the Ring is destroyed, he can no longer reincarnate in Middle EarthThis is true because he poured too much power into the Ring.>So he ceased to exist.Nope, confirmed by Tolkien he's doomed to the fate of a wandering, but powerless, spirit, capable only of whispering into the ears of Men.And none of those above apply to Saruman. So he'll be back.
