'Council of Elrond':


quote:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
'Alas, no,' said Elrond. 'We cannot use the Ruling Ring. That we now know too well. It belongs to Sauron and was made by him alone, and is altogether evil. Its strength, Boromir, is too great for anyone to wield at will, save only those who have already a great power of their own. But for them it holds an even deadlier peril. The very desire of it corrupts the heart. Consider Saruman. If any of the Wise should with this Ring overthrow the Lord of Mordor, using his own arts, he would then set himself on Sauron's throne, and yet another Dark Lord would appear. And that is another reason why the Ring should be destroyed: as long as it is in the world it will be a danger even to the Wise.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thus if one was able to defy the Ring's will, they would not be corrupted by it, as that was part of its will.

I recommend you read up a little, chief.

That was said by Legolas.

Two things here. Yes, it is true I said the new darklord / onering master would be corrupted and I WAS wrong about that, I admit it. But my basic point in my post which, granted, was not all that well articulated, was that even if Sauron was the rings only master and that he was part of the ring did not matter because Gandalf could still use the ring and overthrow Sauron in the process, as well as specific others. I was not saying either way that any one specific thing would happen after someone capable of doing this did it, but that there were a few possibilities. I am sorry for being unclear in my last post about what I was saying. I hope this clarifies my sleep-post and shows that I do not have to do much re-reading, cheif.
