I was under the impression that the Nine, did not have the ability to turn the user invisible, nor did the Seven. There powers were different; power and the abilty to amass wealth. I thought the One gave power according to it's users stature, i doubt that Sauron or perhaps even Gandalf would have turned invisible when wearing the ring. The One increased hearing and turned the user invisible, for Smeagol and Bilbo/Frodo, but these characters were all closely akin.

I thought that the Nine would just give Power, without any visible symptoms, but slowly turn the user into a wraith (how fast depended on the sincerity of the users' original intentions)
