Re: Sauron

Like you said, Elenanna, only Maia's bodies or forms that they take can 'die' or be destroyed, and I think that once these are destroyed they can never be regained (except in special circumstances eg Gandalf's reincarnation) and then their spirits are left to wander the world, present but idle so to speak.

In the case of Morgoth/Sauron, their spirits were sent or banished beyond the Circles of the World in the Void. Saruman was left to wander, however, and I think they are the only (known) cases of Maia losing their bodies (Balrogs?)
