Why does Gandalf have the third elf ring? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

What power was most apparent in Saruman? The power to control Men, of course. Saruman always kept that power. Why not copy Sauron, who was quickly becoming his role model of a sort, and pour his own inherent power into the ring of his fashioning? Saruman's ring might well have had the power to control men.

Hope this is an acceptable answer, as I am no lore-master...
