Re: Question:

enep:
Unknown. Some theorize that the 7 were more powerful (since the 1 was the most powerful and then the 3). But JRRT does not say. When he mentions the powers of the Rings it is fairly generic and they are all capable of the same things (while the One and Three have some different abilities and are noted as much more powerful). He does say that while Sauron gave only seven to the Dwarves he gave nine to Men 'for Men proved in this matter readist to his will' (see 'Of the Rings of Power').
