But, realistically, that would be against the entire purpose of the Ring to tempt people beyond logical conclusions. What should be written is probably "I am your preciouss and I will grant all your desires", that would be more true to its being.

In Tolkien it seems there is something of potency or permanency involved in inscribing a spell. Besides the "spells" Thorin & Co laid while carving runes on the stone over the troll-hoard, there are also Durin's "runes of power upon the door;" and Earendil's "shining shield was scored with runes To ward all wounds and harm from him."
