Questions 2 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I have been talking with some freinds and we disagree on something. What I want to know is, do you think that if Melkor had worn the ring he would be more powerful? Sauron was a very powerful Maia, and he put alot of his own being into the Ring. So I think that if Melkor had worn the ring, even though Sauron did not compare in power with Melkor, Melkor would still gain power from it.

My freinds are arguing that power is never given from the less powerful to the more powerful, instead always the other way around. Melkor/Sauron -> Servants, Melian -> Thingol.. so on, so on.

What do you think?
