Will it be right to assume that the powers of the One were similar to those of the Three, though in a perverted fashion?

Eg: The elven rings guarded their kingdoms = the One protected itself and its owner.

The Three allowed to comunicate = the One subdued

The Three helped to perceive to souls of people (well, Nenya and Narya did, I suppose) = the One betrayed the bearer to the Master and his servants

The Three preserved Rivendel and Lothlorien (and perhaps the Shire, as Gandalf frequented it) = the One prolonged the life of its mortal bearer (Gollum) and of those subdued to it (Nazgul) beyond any reasonable limit.
That's what I can think of for now. Does it make any sense?
