The flaming eye was literal enough for Saurons minions that they emblazoned their gear with it... im sure the big S sanctioned that artwork.. was it an actual eyeball atop of Barad Dur, or was it a magnificent Maian orb of evil-ness? Either way it was Sauron's tool of observation.
And then there is the Necromancer. Physical enough eh? I know there was never an actual physical description of the Necromancer, but all accounts of him speaks of a physical individual, eh?
