It says that Sauron took on a form similar to that of Melkor in his final stages, a dark lord, tall and terrible. Melkor was defiantly flesh and blood, he was wounded by Fingolofin. So it seems to me that Sauron was defiantly a physical entity, at least in the second age. My question at the beginning of the thread was would Sauron be trapped in that physical form? The movie description of Sauron during the Last Alliance is probably closer to what Sauron was actually like during the 3rd age, after he was "cast down" by Gil-Galad and Islidur. It seems that Sauron was able to take a form during the 3rd age, he is able to come himself, and Gollum says he has 4 fingers, so would he be trapped in an incarnate form during the third age as well as the second age?
